Was thinking of getting one soon. I usually go for nintendo as in my opinion are the best, but wan't too sure about the DS as wasn't too sure about the games on their whereas i have played a PSP and thought graphics were good and the games look better.
What handheld do you own and what would you recommend?

I think i will purchase the PSP with Pro evo and GTA and have a look at that Locoroco, and as the DS is getting cheaper i could well pruchase that at a later date.
I too own both.
The PSP is great for media. I used it the other day while on one of these dreaded late shifts to finally watch Spider-man II on UMD. But you can pretty much copy any DVD or video to it using free software such as Video 9 to encode it. Also good for carrying MP3s around if you don't have an ipod.
For games, the PSP looks nice, but other than a few, I haven't been overly impressed. Hot Shots Golf (Everybody's Golf in the UK) is good, as is Locoroco, GTA, Ridge Racer, Wipeout Pure, SSX and a few others.
The DS has some great games, a lot of which use the touchscreen to their advantage. Warioware Touched, Yoshi's Island, New Super Mario Bros, Super Monkey Ball and Mario Kart are just a few. Animal Crossing is the must have DS game, but it doesn't appeal to everyone. If you do get to like it, you'll get hooked though.

Super Princess Peach is pretty good too
The PSP might be technically superior, but then who really cares when you're playing a handheld console?
For shear fun, originality and pick up and playability the DS wins everytime. There's been a couple of game on PSP that have made the grade of what I would call a could handheld game (Lumines, Locoroco) but for the most part the games just don't suit the sort of experience most people are looking for in a handheld console.
