Hey I"m trying to decide if I should buy a DS or a PSP, what do you think is better? Thanks.

NDS or PSP
Whats better?
I would go with PSP if you're looking to get more action-oriented games. Plus, PSP has WiFi (as opposed to DS, which has Nintendo Wifi, etc) and in my opinion better games.
DS, however, has the awesome Mario/Sonic/Nintendo character games. So it depends on what you prefer to play.
I'm biased, too; I've played PSP and accessed internet via its wifi connection. So it holds a special place in my heart.

I say DS because its a lot cheaper and has all the cool first party Nintendo games...
PSPs are cool and all but I just never saw them being worth their cost... unless you travel a ton and want to play PS2 games on the go and watch movies, then they are indeed pretty cool, but since generally if I'm traveling, I'm driving, portable gaming isn't really big to me...

Nintendo DS for sure. Much better games and better innovation, and better control scheme. PSP is so hard to control with the little nubby thing. Ugg... I tried playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 on it, and it was hard as dirt to control.

It depends on what you want to do on it.
PSP is pretty much PS2+iPhone(-phone). It supports movies, music, pictures, and web browsing (WiFi).
DS plays only games nativelly.
DS has almost every genre of game, mostly games that can be easily paused and resumed (but not all!). Closing the screen puts the DS into stand-by (on which it can last days) and opening resumes play right where you left off. Also, there are many games that take advantage of the touch screen or dual screens in interesting or fun ways.
PSP games, however, are mostly action games that can be hard to put down, depend on your ability to spot 3 pixel high people, and require complete focus on the game.
^boy, that paragraph sounds a bit one-sided^
Like most "Which system should I buy?" questions, it all depends on what you plan to do with it.
