The PSP had a great library if you like JRPGs, and has the best SRPG of the entire last generation in Tactics Ogre.

I feel like I should want one of these since they're such slick pieces of hardware. Then I see game prices and I'm like LOLNO. With iOS, and to some extent android, gaming getting so much better, I feel like a separate portable gaming system just isn't worth it, especially with high prices for games.

Let's see, a 8 GB mem stick costs $30. We'll say a game is 2 GB ish (could be wrong either way). That puts ~ 4 games on a stick. $30/4games = $7.50 /game cost do download for the memory stick.

That's not really how that works, though. You might as well increase the cost per PC game by the cost per GB that HDD storage is currently at.
The cost of the game is whatever it's marked at. The cost to store doesn't exist in that form because you can easily reuse the memory stick as you roll to a new game.-
Considering that the Vita has no built in memory (that can be used for games) and the fact that you must use Sony's own special memory cards in the device, I think it's only fair to add the costs of these things. If it were a situation in which games were just saves onto on-board memory, I'd agree with you. I'd even agree with you if I could just use any card I wanted or if the cards were priced like other comparable cards.
Even if you only want one single game, you need to make that initial investment - there's absolutely no way around it so you have to add these costs. Later on, when that one memory card is used for many games you own, the costs "go down".-
Not quite true, you can pick up one of these for $2

Then you can buy 2x 32gb or 2x64gb micro sd cards for a total of 64gb or 128 gb respectivly.
Right now 32gb micro SD cards are retailing in england for £20. So were talking £40 for 64gb of storage which is a fraction of the price of buying the sony sticks. Gota use your nogin if u dont wana get ripped off.
