PSP is headed straight to the bargain bin. Sony really blew this opportunity. They should have never gotten into the portable market. Their strength was in the home console market. They should have concentrated all their resources on the PS3.
I was an early adopter, but after owning 4 games, then having absolutely nothing else to play for the following year, I decided to sell it, because there were no more good games to play. Sony was too interested in selling movies on the UMD format.
I later found this little nugget of gaming goodness call the DS, specifically the DS Lite. All I can say is WOW, never doubt Nintendo.
I was the complete opposite of you. I brought a DS lite and sold it because i found the games to be incredibly short and having little replay value. If you get bored of the genre of games on the DS, theres not a lot more the console has to offer.
At least with the PSP, which Sony has touted as a multimedia device, There's always something else i can do as it offers a lot more and through firmware upgrades can continue to as well. In effect they have a myriad of options to choose from as to what to do with the PSP.

Isn't this a little too late?
