Best portable gaming device for kids?

I am going on a long road trip next month along with 2 five year olds. I was thinking of buying some gaming device that would keep them rooted to the backseat. Based upon my little research thus far, there are only the following two major companies catering to this market: Nintendo( with DSlite, DSi and DSiXL models) and Sony PSP Go.

Which one would you advise me to go with and why?

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I have decided to get a Nintendo DS lite. Cheers.

Thanks Uk...will do. I am still sort of stumbling my way around Doha, so is there any prominent landmark near the Persian Games shop?

As per my earlier recommendation I suggest that you also check out Persian Games on Al Merghab Street for best prices.

Nayhr...i understand that Gameboy is an old product of Nintendo which they now seem to have shelved. Can I still find it in shops in Doha? If yes, then where? I am fine with the cheap ones as long as they last for at least 2 weeks and do what they are supposed to do.

i recommend GAMEBOY, which is much cheaper & good for 5 yrs old kid. But if money doesn't matter to you go for PSP 2000 or 1000 (do not buy model 3000 or PSP GO)

OK back to topic. PSP with GTA - Vice City Stories. They'll love it.

For kids, NDS is better choice.
