PSP and Nintendo DS are both portable game gadgets but you can also play movies and music on them. PSP is more graphics intense whereas NDS is more to innovative gameplay. Both of them have their merits which can be found at this link with prices and some random info and flaming http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/447453 and http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/402350.

A cheaper alternative to game gadgets would be Gameboy Advance.

You can still play without Wi-Fi, though limited to games where you play alone. Wi-Fi is used for playing with other people either nearby or in some other place far far away. Both Nintendo DS and PSP have Wi-Fi which you can use at any Wi-Fi hotspot lile Starbucks or if you have a wireless router at home, there is some complicated way to get it to work with your gadgets. You can play multiplayer games with other DS users even without Wi-Fi with the built in local wireless connectivity. Not sure if the PSP has this since I can't afford it, so someone please clarify on this.

Btw, this should be in Consoles Couch.
