If it cost the same as the DS Light, I would totally excuse the lack of GBA functionality. But at $60 more than the DS Light, with no real gauge on whether its increased power/new gimmicks will mean anything? Please. The PSP, now lacking its prior price disadvantage, blows the DSi away. This is really just over the top profit-bolstering for Nintendo; and while I commend them trying to stamp out the downright silly amount of piracy on the console, there is no way they had to do it in a way such as this.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today? Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection. Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
