SONY PSP-3000 versus Nintendo DSi

Can’t decide which handheld gaming console you want to buy?   Hopefully this comparative list will help.  And while the PSPs graphics are similar to the PS2, and the DSi closer to SNES/PS1, you should also take into account which system has the games you want to play.  Additionally, you have to hunt around for movies on UMD (as none have been released since late last year) – but they can be downloaded from the PlayStation store.   (I’ll try and put together a comparison between the SONY PSP2 and the Nintendo 3DS once both systems are released).
