Yeah, at some point an emulation handheld would be cheaper/better. I’ve collected a lot of my stuff as they released and when they were cheaper, so there’s a sunk cost in these things for me and it’s cheaper to fix each individual thing than it is to pay $100+ for something decent. Also has inter-connectivity with peripherals, other consoles, etc. much more easily for now. PSP had inter-connectivity with PS2 and PS3 and other PSPs that might be doable with emulation but it’s usually a pain in the ass (although that stuff’s getting easier all the time as well).
