It is wise to be careful when using sites like Wikipedia and Game Rankings. Thinking through how their information is gathered is very important. For example a Wikipedia page based on a game is more likely to be edited by someone who greatly enjoy the game than someone who thought it was medicore or the average game score of a Game Rankings game might be 100% but how many reviews of their of this game? It is important to factor these as well as other issues in. On of the biggest problems with getting an older console late in its life is the selection of earlier titles. Looking at your list I have a feeling that the Grandia games would likely be discontinued as well as a few others, unfortunately. I agree with you on video reviews. They are a great source of information and are much more powerful than just a text based review. Here are a few of my thoughts.
