The DS is an amazing system. You can criticize the uselessness of two screens, but if you do you've obviously never tried the DS.
Mario Kart DS is an absolutely amazing game, and even the editors are calling it the greatest Mario kart game ever. It uses the second screen as a close-up map, which is so incredibly helpful as you could actually race from this screen alone (not that you'd want to, but it gives you that much information about your surroundings). Have you seen sonic rush? It's being called the greatest sonic game ever. Period.
If you want to buy either a psp or a ds, consider this in your choosing-
-The ds is far cheaper.
-The ds has free wi-fi.
-The ds is blowing the psp away in sales.
-The psp, while a great media player, just can't hold up against things like the i-pod and the i-movie media wise, so you'd better be getting it for the games.
-And a lot of people seem to forget this, but Nintendo makes far more durable systems than Sony (my ds has been flung out of a jacket onto the ground, had water split all over it, left in freezing weather, been banged up a good deal in travel, yet still works perfectly).
@JessTicular, how many racers have you un-locked so far? And who do you race with? I use Toad… he's just so awesome.
@Lukas W, go to ign.com or something; they have a full list of all the current ds games, as well as reviews for all the ones that have been released.
