PSP buying advice

Hi!
I've decided I want a PSP. My first question is that I don't understand the differences between the types of pack available such as value pack, giga pack, etc. I'm not sure what I need or why I need the more expensive one.
The other question is where I should look for the best deal? I've seen a good deal at Argos which is £129 and includes accessories and a game for free. As i've also go a load of Nectar points this deal would suit me but if someone can recommend a much better one then I'd be grateful of any other advice as well!
Thanks in advance
Matt

The Base pack includes the console, battery and charger
The value pack includes the console, battery, charger, padded pouch, wrist strap, demo disk headphones, inline remote for music and movie playback and a 32mb memory stick pro duo
The Gigapack includes the console, battery, charger, padded pouch, wrist strap, demo disk headphones, inline remote for music and movie playback and a 1GB memory stick pro duo.
for me the giga pack is over valued now a 1GB card can be bought for a lot less than the price difference between the value and giga in fact it was over valued on release. Just make sure you buy the card from anywhere other than amazon market place and ebay as the are almost all fakes.
The base pack is very cheap about £130 is a good price for it but the extra bits in the value pack I think are worth having but the price difference is now quite a bit since the price drop of the base pack and are proberbly not worth the money and you can buy them on ebay for not much so I would proberbly buy a base pack now and get the extra bits from ebay.
bundled games etc they may seem decent value but if the games are pants they aren't worth having or if they are old they will be available for less in most supermarkets.
Important bits to buy after buying a PSP is the Hori screen protector and that is it everything else you dont really need. I have a few memory cards but if the screen gets scratched it is annoying.0
