Its ridiculous to ask other people if its worth the purchase price when its all about opinion.

Then I guess asking people what games are worth purchasing is ridiculous, because it's all about opinion? :?
And Sony did NOT take losses with the PSP. Some people seem to assume that they did simply because Nintendo "beat" them with the DS, but Sony did profit, quite a bit, off of the PSP.
The $250 price tag is pretty ridiculous, for $50 more you could get a 360 or a PS3, both of which have more powerful technology, more features, better libraries etc. They should at least have a good bundle available... If it was $250 for the system plus OoT, that would be a much more attractive option...
Good point actually. My bad. According to this source here, the PSP cost roughly $170 to build and consumers paid $250 for it. That's a mark up of $80.The DS lite originally cost $90 to build and consumers paid $130 for it. That's a $40 mark up. If anything, I think Nintendo have taken a leaf out of Sony's book this time around, by increasing the profit margin. I'm not supporting this decision, but why undercut the competition when your handheld's are more recognisable, cater to a wider audience and have a unique selling point. On top of all that, why weren't Sony selling the PSP at a loss, like the PS3 and PS2? Are they doing it with Vita?
