Some may criticize the PSP's relatively high price point. However, considering its media capabilities and superior graphics, the PSP is a great value for the handheld gamer that wants to do more while on the go. Although the hardware may be more expensive, the Curmudgeon Gamer researched the EB Games website and found there are more budget sub-$20 games for the PSP than the DS (30 versus 26).In the long run, cheaper software helps gamers. The website applauds the flexibility in Sony's game prices: "There are PSP games launching at prices from $50 down to $20, which makes it possible for a game to portray itself as anything from a big-name release down to a chintzy piece of shovelware... Nintendo's model, especially for its big-name games, has seemed much more rigid. The price for New Super Mario Bros. will probably still be $35 two years after its release, whereas the price of Liberty City Stories on the PSP has dropped from $50 to $20 in just over a year."
