I wish I'd never got my PSP to be honest... I got it on release day and I only have about 5 games for it... and I last played on the PSP sometime before Christmas o_O
As for Resident Evil, I don't know if a PSP version would be a good idea. It's hard to get immersed in the atmosphere when you're viewing it on a tiny screen, sitting on a bus, with a sandwich in one hand, while being mugged.
I didn't know they made Resident Evil games for DS. Are they any good? I can't really answer your question, but I reckon I would have immersion issues with the even smaller DS screen.
I wasn't attacking the PSP, by the way. After I'd read your post, I looked at your avatar and I swear it had red eyes and flaming beard. All I'm saying is that I don't understand why anyone would want to play an atmospheric horror game on a portable console. You just said yourself that you played Silent Hill in the dark with headphones. If it's only really good in that situation, then how is that better than playing it on a PS2?

Some people liked RE DS, I found it rubbish for the reasons you said. Immersion on a handheld? No ta.
I love my PSP simply because I can do anything I want on it. I've actually got two PSPs, one that's modded and hacked to the death and the other which is just boring an normal. Homebrew opens it up a lot for me - not just for emulators but for the games people have made themselves and got running on it, it's sort of like a click community in a way.
The actual retail games haven't been great though - the only ones I've had fun on so far are Killzone Liberation, Grand Theft Auto and Loco Roco. I had fun on Lumines too, but that got boring after a few days. The rest of the retail games suck but to say that the PSP is dead is a lie - especially with new Syphon Filter, God of War, Silent Hill and a new Loco Roco game being made. Plus a new PSP store is being released which will let us download PS network games, plus there is going to be some new TV service coming out. I won't be buying into the TV thing, but I certainly don't think the PSP has been abandoned.
