I own 2 PSPs (one was bought at launch with the original v1.50 firmware for homebrew use; the second I bought on sale last Christmas for official Sony firmware updates, which is currently patched at v3.50); as you can tell, I enjoy the PSP platform quite a bit. While the DS does have a solid software library, I went with the PSP because of the LCD screen, multimedia capabilities, online features and I happen to prefer the software titles over the DS'.
I don't have any accessories other than a Logitech PlayGear case for one of them and a UMD case for carrying around additional UMDs when I travel.

It's not worth owning a PSP for the homebrew, and the emulators only work well enough to be just tolerable for 8-bit systems. If you're going to get a PSP, get it for the original titles on the system. I made the mistake of getting one for that with only a couple of PSP games I actually wanted and ended up taking it back.

Homebrew has worked fine for me. Currently using NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and PS1 stuff on it. Some of the original homebrew games are fun too.

So far ive only played Mario 64, but I didnt notice any speed issues. Biggest thing is learning the control map

i owned a psp but never played it, Homebrew was alright, but didnt work perfect. I sold mine on ebay, Theres a few good games, but I like the ds better. The screen on the psp is fantastic though.

As good as the homebrew apps are (and they're improving constantly), the original titles matter more to me over the long haul.
