True but I was basing mine on the number of games reviewed at 85% or better
on gamerankings.com

Using that same logic you could purchase a N64 w/2 controllers for under $30
instead of purchasing a DS for $150.
For a $150 you could pick up a N64, 2 controllers and upwards of 12 to 20
games vs a PS2 with a couple games for $250.
At least the PSP is in the same ballpark of "current" console technology.
I am mocking Nintendo because they are milking money from game made nearly
10 years ago.
The same thing they have done with their last handheld. I can't wait for
their next handheld when the new generation is upon us. Just think, we can
play GameCube games all over again! YAY!

I don't have a DS so that would be a little biased. On top of that, I
haven't even played 8 PSP games let alone found 8 quality ones.

I don't have a PSP but do have a DS. I am pretty certain that when I get my
PSP (hopefully tomorrow) that the DS will pale into comparison. Lets hope
Wipeout Pure is as good as they say.

tried it out and he said its pretty good plus you can use it for an
internet browser
