You say it's a turn off because PSP games are $10 more, and it goes a long way in handheld systems. I say, the PSP games are more expensive because they have better graphics.

Having better graphics, in turn makes development costs higher, making it $10 more. That is my arguement. I'm trying to explain WHY they are $10 more or higher.

For you it may not be, but a lot of people see the Value Pack as a good value. Sure, you may not want or need anything that comes with it, but that's no reason to say it's not a value pack. It's called a Value Pack because it has a lot of VALUE inside. 32mb memory sticks are around $20, Spiderman2 is $20, Carrying case $20, Earbuds $10. Making the package $70 more then a solo pack (180+70 = $250)

Now if you were to buy all those (if you wanted) seperately..... you'd pay a lot more in taxes... there fore making it a VALUE PACK. It's like a McDonalds Value Meal....... no one needs Fries and a Drink... but it's good to just get one thing or order one thing and have a lot more.

Okay, I understand a bit more of what you're saying. I knew that graphics make the development costs higher and all that sort of stuff, but i thought you were just saying "well the games look nicer so they should cost better" or something stupid like that.

As far as the Value Pack, I realize that it is called a value pack because it offers some value. I just stated that for me, and a lot of other people, a true "value pack" would come with just the system, so that the extra 70 dollars could be put towards a game rather than headphones and Spiderman 2.

so its not really too much money for a handheld. its that the package isnt right for you.

Yeah, I realize that and I'm sorry if it confused anyone... I was basing it from my standpoint of not needing these things.
