If you're willing to put a little effort into hacking it, you can play games from any older systems like Super Nintendo, PS2, GBA, etc. That's also why there aren't a lot of games for the PSP. It was so easy to hack and download them that developers didn't want to invest.
If you're mainly interested in RPG's then the DS is probably the way to go. PSP is more for hackers or people who want the screen-size for watching video and playing action-y games.

1---2---3---4---1---2---3---4.
That's it, that's the only rhythm you get to play in the game. Even when the little Patapons are going "1-and-2-and-3-and-4", you're still just playing the quarter notes. Yes, it's sort of an RTS game too, but since you control everything by music, and the music sucks, well, you get the idea.
The only PSP games I played that were worth a crap were Dracula X, which is E-fudgin'-SSENTIAL for the soundtrack alone, and the Metal Gear Ac!d games. Basically, they're video board games, but they're pretty badass.

So far, I've not seen any game other than DRACULA X that I regret not having a PSP for. The METAL GEAR stuff might be pretty cool, but given the huge library the DS has including a shitload of really great games- as in, stand-up-to-console-games great, I think the PSP is a non-starter.
The thing about DS RPG's is that I don't know if I could stand the anime graphics for long. If I am playing RPG I don't want my character to look like a 12 yo midget (see Dragon Quest V). But those RPG's for PSP are all anime as well so no hope for me I guess.
I hear you on this, but the problem isn't unique to the DS- it's pretty much all non-Bioware console RPGs. It's the whole JRPG thing, you know. But if you can get around that, games like DRAGON QUEST V are really great games regardless of the midgets. And some of the best RPGs I've played on DS have the whole anime thing going on (THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU in particular)...and I hate anime.
The PSP Go looks cool and all, but it's as much as a Wii console and there still isn't the level of software support that I'd want to see from such an expensive purchase.

What really bugs me about the PSP though is a) the fucked up format for movies which means ripping one of my dvds to watch on the psp is at best difficult and b) the w-lan connection which requires that you go through quite a lot of trouble every time you change access point, and c) the fact that the machine has lots and lots of potential for all sorts of software which just isn't available because of the nazi like firmware.
That being said I'm quite happy with it. But I use it only when I'm travelling and don't need lots of different games.

And one word that makes DS a must have - Castlevania. I have never played it but judging by the YT videos, it's gonna be awesome.

Brave Story: New Traveller (turn-based, one of the few)
Tales of Mythology: Radiant Story
Disgaea
Final Fantasy 1 and 2
Final Fantasy: Crisis Core
Star Ocean 1 and 2
Tactical RPGs:
Final Fantasy Tactics
Jeanne d'Arc
Pirates is definitely worth getting. The Grand Theft Auto games are good if you're into that type of game.

BUT...you don't get DRACULA X on DS. That sucks.

Castlevania is next as it reminds me of the old caravans packed with those big gaming devices which used to arrive in our town once in a while when I was a kid.

You have got to explain that.
TWEWY is very cutting edge...it's a JRPG, but it breaks a lot of molds. The game has balls, and it's a great pick to really show you what the DS is capable of. I think it'll turn out to be this generation's CHRONO TRIGGER.

Well, I dunno if something like that used to exist in the US but when I was a kid, sometimes a big truck came to our town and it was full of gaming machines with games like Mortal Combat and Metal Slug. I used to hang there for hours killing stuff, and Castlevania reminds me of that - the graphics and that kill-and-jump approach. Man I loved those games.

Whoa, we never had anything like that, that sounds fun.
It sounds the same as an Arcade, which used to be all over the US. I'm guessing wherever sydo grew up the local economy wasn't strong enough to support an established Arcade. That kind of business requires a certain amount of disposable income among local kids/teens.
