You say it's a turn off because PSP games are $10 more, and it goes a long way in handheld systems. I say, the PSP games are more expensive because they have better graphics.

Having better graphics, in turn makes development costs higher, making it $10 more. That is my arguement. I'm trying to explain WHY they are $10 more or higher.

For you it may not be, but a lot of people see the Value Pack as a good value. Sure, you may not want or need anything that comes with it, but that's no reason to say it's not a value pack. It's called a Value Pack because it has a lot of VALUE inside. 32mb memory sticks are around $20, Spiderman2 is $20, Carrying case $20, Earbuds $10. Making the package $70 more then a solo pack (180+70 = $250)

Now if you were to buy all those (if you wanted) seperately..... you'd pay a lot more in taxes... there fore making it a VALUE PACK. It's like a McDonalds Value Meal....... no one needs Fries and a Drink... but it's good to just get one thing or order one thing and have a lot more.

so its not really too much money for a handheld. its that the package isnt right for you.

Actually, I think first gen PSP titles are looking better than first gen PS2 titles...

I think because of the good initial sales of DS they're blinded by what PSP offers. Though PSP isn't selling nearly as well as DS did...but the time of year must be taken into account too. What I've noticed though is that Nintendo does not handle competition well. They're fine when they're not chanllenged. When they are though, some chemical process sets off in the brain of the great mightly 'tendo to do something...something not so good...something evi...something...um, somethingish.

Can the PSP read standard video formats like mpeg and avi?
