[quote name='The Mana Knight']I got a slim PSP today for $170 (due to the 15% sale at Meijer), but can't see it for a few days (since I had my Mom pick it up for me, since I'm away at college right now). I also got the component cables. I really hate the D-pad on the original PSP (which is one reason I wanted a slim). I got tired of black due to fingerprints. Also, having a lighter PSP with TV out (yes, I know it doesn't cover the whole screen) is very big to me.
I was faced with a really, really tough decision because Meijer also had a Wii for $212.49 after the discount. As glad as I am that I got the slim PSP, I still wonder if I should have bought the Wii (sales come often, so this isn't my only chance) though. I don't care for Zelda or Metroid (not a fan of either), but I was looking to get it for DDR Hottest Party, Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core, Fire Emblem, NiGHTs (big Nights fan here), and some older games (like Wario Ware, Sonic, Elebits, Super Swing Golf, etc.). But at the same time, if I got one, I would have spent around ~$500 (for Wii, accessories, and some games), and would have only had ~$200-$300 for games on PS3/360/PSP/DS/PS2. Oh well, I hope I get a Wii next year at least (It's killing me for not owning one, to an extent).[/QUOTE]
you can still get Accent Core and DDR on the PS2 and for cheaper.
I considered buying a slim PSP for a minute, but of all the PSPs I've owned, I've never kept one for more than a couple months (sold them after realizing I haven't played them in a while.)
My holiday line up is really easy this year, since I only have a PC and DS (and probably a PS2 within a month or two if they announce a bundle or a price drop.)
--Ninja Gaiden DS (crossing fingers that it makes it this year)
--Orange Box (already purchased)
--CoD 4
--maybe Crysis, if it's any good
--maybe Hellgate London, if it has a great single player campaign.
If I get a PS2, add Guilty Gear Accent Core to that.
hmmm, I think I'm missing some games on that list because I can't remember the last holiday season where I didn't buy 10 or more games
