I can put down $200 for a DS Lite and two games. Or using Chaoskiddo's math, $270 for 1 game and a memory stick. You can really tell me that when you buy another game 2 months (and 4 paychecks) later, you're thinking...$270 + $30 vs $200 + $35? It's more likely you think, $35 or $30.
This is how i see it, amount spended on psp, 250$, amount of games i own over 20 (thousands if you count emulation)

How much do you need to get a ds and at least 20 games?

yes and no, even though having a non-homebrew available psp (2.81 and higher) is bad, programs to "downgrade" your psp are always in development, when i bought my psp i had a 2.5 ta-082 psp, a year ago ppl would tell me "youre screwed" but now that is not the case at all so... in a future is almost guaranteed that you will be able to use homebrew, but, if you can get an older psp then go for it
