I got this from Gamespot, which also has thier opinions on it. Its basically praising Sony PSP saying its expansive but it will be worth it because of the lack of DS purchesers.
I personally, even if this was a Nintendo product spend over 300 dollers Canadian for an handheld, with extra shit that I dont want. '
Games will also be around 50 bucks.
Its pretty expansive.
Without draing battery power?
In the handheld history, most handhelds going up against Nintendo have failed because of the battery power and cost. Sony is doing the same thing but also have more finacial background to keep it through. So for the next couple of years, it will be intresting to watch how the PSP goes against techinical inferior products of Nintendo, like the GBA, DS and the new Game Boy which has been rumored to be in the works.
Maybe. I'm a college freshman. Money is slim. And a PSP isn't a top priority. I'll get it when I have the money and when better games come out. I always wait until the system is a least 6 months old and it already has an extensive library. I have never boughten a system on release. It's bad consumerism to me.
