When the GP2X launched, it was actually the same price as the PSP, which, while very different, is roughly equivalent, spec-wise. Each has it's pluses and minuses. Thanks to the hacking community, the PSP can do a lot of what the GP2X was built for, making it arguably a better deal.
The DS, at the time, was only $50 cheaper, but has roughly 1/5th the processing power of the GP2X. Let's be honest here, I have a faster processor in my cellphone than you get in the DS. Essentially, the DS is too underpowered for anything other than playing DS games, whereas the GP2X can play movies, music, and a lot more games. However, if you like DS games, and many people seem to, then the DS is not a bad choice.
