the color is probably worth it... that is awesome. the metroid prime demo is awesome, but short... you'll play it a few times, but you'll be fine without it

I bought a DS first then a PSP, but if I could only have one I'd pick the PSP. I didn't realize how high it scored on the awesome meter.

Anyway white sucks - it would show dirt way too easily.

The irony in that statement is so funny.

Considering a color DS w/ a case would be worth $235, as opposed to the PSP with it's extras costing $250...

I now realize any bashing of Sony's $250 price point is totally irrelevant now...

I mean, honestly Cany, if your willing to shell out $235 for a DS (mind you with no Metroid demo) and a case.... then you might as well pick up the better machine in PSP value pack.

....... You don't get it.

In Europe everything is 30% more expensive. So the PSP will be $300+ here. And then I have to import a game (that I don't even want).

Don't get me wrong, but I've just been looking forward to the DS, never to the PSP.

€185 for exactly what I want
vs
€145 for versions that I'm not totally happy with...

I'll consult my brother. We could also buy a 'normal' one and sell it when the white one comes out.

Edit: I just realised something. We can get our shipping money's worth when we also buy some exclusive Japanese stuff. For example my brother loves Final Fantasy merchandise.
Then a white DS is just as expensive as a normal one.
