I have one thing to say to you New2ya, pwnd.

 

[Steve-o]

O man, that is a high price to pay. New2Ya sorry but this is on reason why I don't think it will do as well as the DS.

 

[THE_CRAZY_MOFO213]

wow $249.99 talk about a overpriced eh!?!?!?!?

 

[kadaj]

wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JApan is selling psp at 179.00 and US price is going to be 169.00 to 199.00.Info is from psm and (japense) psp retailers.

 

[Steve-o]

Yea if it was lower I would get it, some of the games that are coming out look cool for it. To see them go to New2Ya's topic.

 

[kadaj]

Sorry, Kadaj, but Cole's right, the prices he listed are all true. I know you would never wanna believe that the DS could ever have any kind of advantage over the PSP, but it does.

Honestly, I think the PSP will be good, but not worth the retail price, and that's what's really important. I'm stickin with my DS.

Okay yes PSP will be 250$ but heres what your getting

The PSP - 180$ value
Value Pack- 30$ value
You get headphones, remot controler (have no idea), cary case, cloth, 32 MB memory stick, and Demo Disk
Also get one of the 1st million before March 31 and get the UMD of Spider Man for FREE!!!!! Thats the whole movie!!!! which would be like a 40$ value with the game prices confirmed as 35-50$.

so 180+30+40= 250$!!!!

and it is still $250.00, which is $267.50 with tax, and for Candians $300.00 $321.00 with tax, thats a hell of alot of money.

 

[1WingedDemonCloud]

not really you have to pay tax on everything. So just add the regular tax to the prices i listed and you have the same amount once more =) lol

 

[Cole]

yeah, but thats still alot of money people are willing to pay for a handheld. I know people who would much rather pay $80 to buy a GBA and play mario than someone who will pay $261 to play need for speed.

 

[Evil_Sephiroth]

the only reason why psp is so pricy is because its the condensed version of ps2 and that would be hard and i would like to know where u got ur info and the list of games coming out not to mention the movies for it
