That's true, and some people seem to be forgetting this when comparing
the prices to the consoles.  A playstation with 4-5 more games jacks
up the price to over _$500_.  Who knows how much the U64 with its
gigantic cartrdiges at 80$ a pop with 5 games packed-in (which it
won't).

Not to mention, the games bundled actaully have (gasp) objectives and
strategy, not just shoot-em-ups.
