If you have to choose one now or soon, I would recommend the PSP. With the recent release of the pandora battery, installing homebrew and custom firmware is no longer a big risk or problem. The DS is a great gaming machine with an amazing library, but there is no 100% sure bet that the PSP slim will be able to be downgraded right off the bat. Running emulators on a XBox, and bootleg PSX games on a PS2 may be great, but they aren't exactly portable consoles. So my vote goes to getting the current PSP model.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From my perspective, the DS doesn't have many games with what I'd consider "substance" -- it's mostly pick up, play for a bus ride and put down, not picking it up until you get back on the bus.
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Luminus Arc
Lunar Knights
Magical Starsign
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All

Just a few of the many that you can do more than just "pick up and play for a little while" games. IMO, it's a advantage that the DS has games that work with both prefferences. Remember, these ARE handheld systems. A lot of the better PSP games feel more like at home console games IMO. The PSP does have a few gems though. Personally, i've been running through these:

Brave Story
Legend of Heroes 3
Riviera
Guilty Gear: Judgement (much better than the craptacular DS GG game)
Valhalla Knights (the gameplay can be a bit slow at times, but the multiplayer is quite fun)
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Jeanne d' Arc
Tales of the World
Monster Hunter Freedom 2
Tekken: Dark Ressurection (I have it for PS3, but still play it during train rides)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

All of these are excellent games IMO, but only 2 of those are really "on the go" games. Tekken, and Guilty Gear. Either way, I still have a lot of the PSP library to explore, so my opinion might change with time. As of right now though, the variety in the DS library is leaps and bounds above the PSP library IMO.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's a RPG with above average amounts of dialog. There's nothing "pop-in and play" about it. I might as well carry around a PS2 with a attach on monitor and play Xenosaga on the go. I will give you the load times though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
