With the included Sony 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, there's plenty of storage for gift-givers to customize the system by downloading personal photos, favorite songs and video clips.

With these new $10 UMB movies, and the $20 cost of a 1GB memory stick off E-Bay, I don't think that deal is much of a deal. The PSP itself runs $200. Also a 1GB memory stick is too small and that movie sucks.

Here's a thought. If they *REALLY* think a 1GB memory stick and that movie are worth $100 together, how about they take $100 off the price of a base PSP with nothing extra and sell it for $100 in stores. *THAT* would move PSP's in a hurry! ;)
