This topic is starting to get lame. It should be locked.

PSP has some good games while the DS has a lot of good games.

the only thing i don't get is why they just don't block isos

idk... its almost like they think it would be the deciding point for those who are trying to chose between the ds and the psp, and want to play backups. But it doesnt seem to be hurting them any since they still sell more games then the psp.

I don't like fanboys as much as the next guy, but EB needs to take that advert down. Really, its just insulting to think of how greedy they are.

Think of it like this:

You buy a PSP entertainment pack for 250 USD.
It collects dust for awhile. You drop in and see the EB Advert: trade in your 250 USD investment for a DS Lite (which retails for 129 USD). So you're out about 121 USD.

EB games resells the same entertainment pack as 'Used' for 200 USD.... They made just made a 321 USD profit at the purchaser's expense, and thats not including any games traded in or purchased...

This kind of greed cannot continue and if I were Sony, I'd sue EBGames. The PSP is not "the past". When a next-gen handheld comes out, then ok I can see that. But the DS's popularity hardly deems the PSP 'past hardware'. The PSP is years ahead of the DS in terms of potential power. MGS:PO proves that, being almost as beautiful graphically as MGS3.

Yes the DS has great games and its price point makes it very attractive, but its hardly new enough to consider the PSP 'in the past'.

I pity the fools who take EB up on this offer...

good one dude, lmao

if i wanted to play a slightly better GBA, i'd play my ngage alittle more

[ish420ism]

how much money is made on third party software anyways?....I mean, knowing that PSP's can be hacked, should create the buzz, and sony might make the money on hardware, rather than SW.

But who knows.... I still love PSP better than beefed up GBA.

[Uchuu]

sigh.....EB is just trying to scam people to trade in their psp's for the DS. It's too obvious. C'mon, who's going to sell their psp, which cost $250, for $100 in store credit?

[sheng]

look they get more money if someone trade in a PSP for a DS lite... cause they can sell the psp off for a higher price...

It's about about the money... and since kids get PSP for present and want a DS anyway... it makes it a good deal...

PSP=DS

[masterpaul]

DS=PSP

Someone... Just lock this stupid thread
