Out of all the shocked fanboy damage control, this is maybe some of the saddest.
$1000 says you don't run through GameCube threads correcting people that it's actually $118 since you need a memory card.....or telling GBA SP buyers that the system isn't actually $79 since you have to buy a friggin' headphone dongle.
People always tout the base price of the system.
I'm not exactly trying to use it as damage control. And now I'm a fanboy? Christ, read some of my posts, I'm getting a PSP myself and I've even considered importing. And I didn't at all say the PSP is $250, did I? I said the PSP and the bundle is and that's what everyone should be buying. Infact, you seemed to have completely taking my post out of context which is a problem many people on these forums have. I said the $250 bundle is what people should buy and it's the GOOD deal. I even stated I wanted people to look at that price rather than the $200 price tag NOT because it moves it away from the DS price, but because they get much more for the price. Not JUST the PSP, they can get that memory stick, and some extra accessories.
Christ, some of YOU fanboys seem to take any little comment against a system as a sad and pathetic argument. And some of YOU hypocritical anti-fanboys are quite quick in assuming people are something they are not. Read my post again if you want. I made that $300 + accessory argument before, but only once, and I was quickly corrected because people don't take that kind of thinking into their own hands. While I disagree that it's not part of the system cost, it essentially is, but I feel like no longer issuing that argument any longer. And secondly, I have complained about this in console threads for them all but xbox. I hate memory cards and anything of the sort. It's a required added cost regardless of you, or anyone wants to construe it.
If you want overroten assumptions, maybe YOU and many of these other doomsayers need to take a break and calm it down. I have yet to see any fucking reason why any current portable game system is going to flat drop dead once another releases. I also see perfectly good reason to purchase a GBA, DS, PSP, or even all three. I've argued about this shitty fanboyism for a good while. It's pointless and it's just silly, and THAT'S sad. The fact that people have such serious personal problems with a fucking company and its way of doing business that they hinder themselves from a good time is mind boggling. Infact, I feel damned sorry that anyone is not getting them all. Casual gamers are more worthy of the gamer title than any scoffy fanboy. You'll miss out on the golden games of the GB/C era, the unique DS titles, and the powerful and deep PSP games. You don't however and you call people flipping idiots for thinking otherwise. That's far more sad than any claim I can make, as it's far more fucking baseless than any argument you tried to pull out of my post.
