| Great hardware, dissappointing corporate tactics.. |
First off this is a great piece of hardware. Plenty of features, decent software support, a nice bit of versatility. The problem with this particular bundle is this. Sony does not include a memory card nor a USB connection for the PC. This means that you can't save anything (not even games) and you can't put anything on it (i.e. music, movies, pictures) without going out and buying these two components. A 4GB memory card runs around $65 (you'll need at least 4GB if you want to put movies and music on it in any worthwhile volume.) A USB cable (bundled with uneccesary software to increase the price of course) runs around $20. That's an extra $85 for components required to fully enjoy this product. Not to mention the spare battery most PSP owners will tell you is a necessity if your planning on playing for longer than 2 or 3 hours without an electrical outlet nearby. I own two Nintendo DS systems and the only thing I've ever had to buy for them is the games. I'm not going to go into which system is better, I'm merely stating that it's pretty cheap of a multibillion dollar corporation to not include the necessary parts with the system. I've given a four star rating because, as I said, it's a great system with alot of nice features and quality games. Just be warned that if you're purchasing this particular bundle, you'll need to buy the memory card and USB cable separately. |

| slick system. |
it looks just like the ps3 menu screen -- feels like a mini ps3. graphics on par with ps2, which is amazing for a handheld. screen is way bigger than ds etc. i don't even want my ds anymore, this system owns it. so far i have jeanne d'arc, god of war, & ff7 crisis core. |
