Its gonna be about $200 cdn. Hrrrmmm.....I could buy a PStwo for cheaper than that ( i think)

I might buy it later, when the price drops...not because im cheap...just because i dont understand why a handheld shopuld be more expensive. So if anything, I will wait until they bag all the money they need to break even from making them, then lower the price.

Well, $150 for a handheld is quite a bit of money, and whether or not PSP is twice that amount has nothing to do with it. I mean, for a launch price, with a free game, it really isn't THAT bad, but many people just don't have $150 to drop on a handheld.

What I'm saying is, you really have to be into handheld gaming to pick up a DS or PSP. For me I just won't be able to afford them whilst owning a PS2, GCN, Xbox, and PC.

It's not a bad price though, really, considering what you get.

Hmm? How do you figure that? IGN said they played with the near-final retail version of the PSP at TGS, doesn't make sense to release it in the summer when it's nearly done.

Well, as of right now it's been estimated for a Spring '05 release. I doubt it'll get pushed back any further - but it easily could. But either way, DS is out two seasons earlier. And I'll be ready to buy it.

Already put a $25 reserve on it at GameStop...

Where are the games for DS?

the answer for both is amazingly the same.... They're not release yet.

Well apperantly the DS has enough games ready.

I actually think the DS games are much easier to make, since they don't have that spiffy graphics...

But of course, PSP is working much with ports....
