Sony introduces a new pricing tier for PSP...

[Chux]

Exactly. You spend less buying it all at once here, than slapping it all together by yourself.

I really can't defend the software selection... Without emulation I probably wouldn't have gotten in.

In other news, how long did it take for the DS to have a must have title?

Define must have title?

For some M64DS was basically an updated sequel to one of the best of all time. To many that must have.

Kirby:CC came out later and blew everyone away. Same goes for AWS and Nintendogs. Castlevania is getting rave reviews all over the place.

I gues right now DS has atleast 3 must have games. can't say the same for the PSP.

No, I'm implying the the cost of this bundle, if you bought it seperately versus in the bundle is negligable and hardly worth bitching about.

it's worth bitching about when the intial bundle was overpriced and the software selection(what sony should be focusing on) sucks.

If someone wants 2 Chalupas and a medium drink, they shouldn't be forced to buy the combo with 2 Chalupas, a taco, and a large drink. Although the latter may present better savings against the cost of buying those items seperately, the former costs less and no unwanted food or drink will be wasted.

I'm not saying the combo shouldn't exist, just that it shouldn't be the only choice.

Really? You are prevented from going here:

and paying 250 for the system alone?

Or did you miss the Preparing the market for the upcoming holiday selling season, industry leader Sony Computer Entertainment America today announced an exciting new purchase option you halfwit?

No, it's not. If it isn't worth it to you, hold for it...don't buy it.

Must someone explain the Capitalist Market and Supply and Demand to you?

That's a bundle too, you insufferable twit.

Yes, the BASIC one.

Get over it. Sooner, rather than later.

I love quoting popular British cliche terms to Arjue because he's Australian and it burns his britches, but this is just out of control.

Lets face it: If you're angry that Sony is putting up these bundles then you've already planned to buy it and now have to shill out a few more dollars for extra goods (and it's negligable anyway, as explained) or you're needlessly bitching.

Get a DS anyway and learn how to lawyer things up.

I've easily put 10+ hours at a time on my ds with out charging it and not having the batteries run out

Same here. Easily.

As far as I'm concerned, the least amount of battery life for any handheld should be something like 8-10 hours.

Yes, the BASIC one.

I get where Bacon's coming from, but honestly, you really need pretty much everything in the basic bundle anyway.

I guess I really don't have any plans to buy it at all, as I'm not even mildly annoyed. If anything, I'm more pleased than ever that I chose the DS over the PSP.

Anyone know how the two systems are selling, head to head?

sample disc (definately junk), headphones and the ac adapter can be done without. i might get them later but initially they would be junk to me.
