I'm considering getting myself a handheld console, but cant decide on which one to get. I've had a Nintendo DS before, but I got bored of it pretty quickly and ended up giving it to mum as she was quite into those brain challange games.

I was tempted by the 3DS, but am afraid I might end up getting as bored of it as I did of the DS. On the other hand I've never had one of the Sony handset devices, so have no idea if I'd like that or not.

EDIT: Hmm... wrong forum. Can someone move this to consoles please?

If you can afford it, wait and take a look at the Vita, I think it's out in feb.

Out of the psp and 3ds though, tough one, I probably use the 3ds more than I have ever used the psp, that only seems to come out on flights!

I find the psp very uncomfortable to use for long periods.
 
PSP for me all the way. Has much better homebrew imo. Games are a lot better as well, but as said above the PSP does make my hands ache after awhile.
 
I've got PSP, NDS and had 3DS. Also got a Vita on pre-order. If your in no rush and can afford it then wait for the Vita. But out of all the devices I've owned I would say PSP gave me the best gaming experience, it far outshines the NDS as long as you use custom FW! And as for the 3DS I would say it's a massive let down and even Ridge Racer looked and played better on the much older PSP than the 3DS. Honestly don't even factor in the 3DS in your decision if you got bored with the NDS!!!
 
Im really unsure about the PSP Vita. It doesnt seem to have that many games that I would want to buy. Mind you theres not that many 3DS games I want to buy either...
 
I got a 3DS for mario 3D land, mario kart 7 and zelda ocarina of time. ALL of them are insanely good fun and a nice change of pace compared to most PC games of late. Usually end up playing a bout of mario kart 7 in bed lol.
 
I have a DS and i really regret getting it, theres only 2 games i like on it, pokemon and mario. I'm going to sell it for a vita when it releases, I'd say go with a vita when it comes out. :d
 
What games does that have that appeal to you?

uncharted, football manager, gta vice city stories, little big planet, Assassins creed, metal gear solid. That's just off the top of my head. There's only 2 that i like on ds. :/ There is plenty of others that I want to play on psp aswell that look good, splinter cell esentials, gangs of london, pursuit force. grr i really want one now. :D And the movies on there are good aswell.
 
Played Mario Kart on my brothers 3DS over xmas, old school gameplay that took me right back to the snes days, absolutely brilliant. If you fancy a psp might as well wait for Vita imo.
