That's about right.
And yes, if you are going to complain about it, then all we can offer you as a solution is to get an SP. They are cheaper now. If it's still not interesting to you, then stop whining! :D

And oh yes, the topic on the main board said "GR has opinions". Haha, how hilariously informative and yet hinting at controversy.
Liberty City stories the number one PSP game? Hardly. I'm not even interested in the series, much less this iteration of it.
Get Lumines if you have ANY interest in a good puzzle game. It's as good as Meteos, and surprisingly, it is EXACTLY as good, perfectly equivilent. So far though, that's the only super must have title for the system...
I still wouldn't own one except it was given to me by another, and I could hardly reject it. I did want one, I just didn't want to part with that much money. And, for free, it's a very nice system. I'm using it as my MP3 player as well, and I must say, combining multiple purposes into a single machine really IS a good thing. I have a hard time convincing myself otherwise. Sure the MP3 features don't really help the gaming features, at all (though they could potentially if a game would let you use a custom soundtrack), but they sure help the MP3 features of the system :D. Plus I have a 1 gig memory card, so it all works out.
I may pick up Metal Gear Acid or Death Jr. I've heard good things about them, but apparently Lumines is still the best game on the system, and I have to say it is very addictive.
So yeah, I have put way more hours into my DS so far, thanks to things like Kirby, Meteos, and now my new obsession, Mario Kart. However, Lumines is awesome and it's nice to have a decent MP3 player. And no, I really don't care how random the randomization feature is on an iPod. Stupid little playlist features like that aren't worth it costing MORE than a PSP. Also, it's amazing how they keep releasing iPods with LESS capacity and ADVERTISING that fact. The original iPod's size was just fine, what's the point in a smaller one? I've said it before, but it bears repeating. It is going to take a sneeze destroying thousands of dollars of equipment before the world wakers up and realizes you can get too small. Have you seen those Sony memory sticks? Those things are worse than small, (and they ARE right at the level of "too small"), they are FRAGILE. To get them that size they make this REALLY thin plastic that flexes with the force needed to resist GRAVITY. I mean, I'm terrified of breaking this thing so it never ever leaves my PSP. Also, it is just a tad too small and I may lose it on a dark surface.
I must say it would be for the best if they just made that the absolute minimum size any electronic device that is intended to be used and stored seperatly by the average user can ever be. I don't care if the rest is just empty space in the plastic case from this point on, it needs to be strong enough to resist being stepped on accidently, and large enough that I can FIND the thing. Those are basic size and structure requirements.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
