You sure? Katamari Damacy is also being released for the PSP.

Oh, I'm farting about with the killer app thing.

But for all those of us who spent 50-100 bucks on these games......

Right now the PSP really has a downright ****ty selection of games (And some of the games that are in that selection are pretty dissappointing, too), but there's lots of good stuff on the way.

I kind of thought GTA:LCS was going to be a "killer app". I'm mainly waiting for it, and for some of the older games, like Lumines, to drop in price.

$40 is pretty steep for a handheld. The last time I bought a game was Rise of the Kasai, for PS2, and I spent $35 in store credit from trade-ins and $5 cash for it.

that's good news. i loved the first two games.

too bad the collective cost of all these wonderful things coming out is adding up now. psp, ps3, nintendo's new machine, games & accessories for all those.. geez. i guess i need to start breaking into peoples homes.

I hate when people say stuff like this. "I'm totally a hardcore gamer, but I hate having to spend money on games. I either pirate all my games or wait until 5 years after they come out and get them cheap!!11"

$40 is not steep for a game. If a game you really want comes out, work overtime at your job (assuming you have one) to pay for it. As an apathetic teenager I make enough money in 3 hours to buy a $40 game. I like games enough that I will work 3 hours to pay for a game that will likely give me 40+ hours of enjoyment.

Your point about lack of big selection on PSP is true, but not that $40 is way too steep for a game. If you think $40 is an outlandish price for a game you should probably take up another hobby, like collecting leaves. Especially since next-gen games are expected to cost upwards of $70 (but you'll probably fool them by waiting a couple years until they cost $20!).

When games start to cost $100 a piece, then you can complain. Right now we have it pretty sweet.

Good point but I think he meant for a handheld game. We were all used to $30 Game Boy games before the PSP blurred the console/handheld line.

I'd rather play Suikoden II on a home television, but I really can't complain because I don't have the $120 to do so. I can probably swing $40, and play through the original Suikoden again for the hell of it.

It may be small, but it is very good small.

What I'm saying is that it takes alot to make me excited enough about something in the way of video games for me to spend $40-50. I'm saying that those games will still be there, and alot cheaper, a few months from now, and I'll be there to buy them then, or maybe not. I am also saying that it's hard to imagine paying $40 for something I'm not going to play much, anyway. The only times I play handhelds are A) times when I'm expecting a long wait and B) when I feel like multitasking (Watching a TV show and playing a video game at the same time, usually puting the game on mute and listening to the show).

Plus, I'd much rather buy two games for $20 each, than one game for $40.

And also, where do you make $10-15 an hour at a starting level job? Oh, wait, I live in Montana and you probably live in New York or something. I'd love to make $40 in wages, tips, and reimbursement every three hours.
