My faith in handheld gaming has diminished over the past few generations. I had a grey brick when they first came out along with about 15 games. I loved it. I had a Sega Nomad which I poured my life into for a few years until it fucked up (if you yelled at it, it would lock up). I had a Game Gear and loved the fuck out of some Sonic gaming. I bought a GBcolor when they came out and more games. Then I bought a GBA. I have one game. And that game is Link's Awakening which isn't even a GBA title. I'm considering getting a DS because I played a few games and it doesn't seem like a gimmick with the right application (The Yoshi game with baby Mario). The PSP looks like it has no good games and 3D gaming on a handheld seems stupid to me. I'd rather have super sharp 2D graphics than shitty PS1 quality 3D graphics.

You're just not playing the right stuff, Robo. Grab any of the games I listed above and you'll change your tune. Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi, both Metroid games, LOZ: The Minish Cap and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow are more than enough incentive to give portable gaming more of your attention.
As for the DS, Yoshi Touch n' Go is a good choice, but there are better games. WarioWare Touched, Kirby Canvas Curse and Meteos are the three best, and they are perfect examples of how the touchscreen can be used creatively by developers.
I don't go anywhere really, and I'm sure as hell not gonna waste that much money on a handheld to play at home. So far my summer has consisted of sleeping, playing WoW/doing other shit, and spending time with Nikki. I really just have no use for a handheld.
I don't like portables because I don't really want to carry around games and play them. I play games at home. When I'm out, I'm with friends.. no reason to play games.
I just don't have the opportunity to play portables anymore. I could substitute them for my rare pc or rarer console gaming sessions, but then I'd have to buy portable systems, which = why?
I used to like playing GB on trips. Zelda and Pokemon kept me entertained for hours.
If I'm going on a long trip now, though, I'm almost always driving. If I'm not driving, I'm bullshitting with the guy who is driving to keep him awake or headbanging to music or holding the "Show Us Your Titties!!" sign out the window.

Actually Ridge Racer for PSP is an awesome title, and the graphics are comparable to a racing game on Dreamcast. The selection of games isnt the best yet, but Im crossing my fingers that some quality ones will be coming out.
