Sony Announces New PSP Packages - GIGA Pack! |
Listed in: Accessories, News Tags: industry news, new releases, psp accessories, psp gift ideas
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has announced 2 new PSP packages, which contain 1GB Memory Stick PRO DUO instead of the original 32MB one. The new names of the packages contain “GIGA”, which hints the included 1GB MS. The release date of the new packages is November, 17th. The price will be 31,290 JPY (around $270 USD).
The new packages will include accessories: a 1GB MS PRO DUO which will be released on Oct. 27th, an AC adapter, a battery pack, a remote controller & headphone, a pouch, a piece of cloth, a USB cable and a stand.
According to the current colors of the PSP, there will be 2 new packages. The one with black PSP will be PSP-1000G1, whereas the one with ceramic white PSP will be PSP-1000G1CW.
Compared to the old packages, the hand strap is missing from the list. DonÂ’t worryÂ… maybe. Because Sony has brought us more optionsÂ… but not for free.
Here are 3 new hand straps:
Urban Line: Made of leather and metal plate. Price: 3,150 JPY (around $27 USD).
Elegant Line: Made of cloth and metal plate. Price: 2,100 JPY (around $18 USD).
Casual Line: Made of cloth and leather plate. Price: 1,050 JPY (around $9 USD).
Also 2 neck straps that we have never seen before:
Elegant Line: Made of cloth and metal plate, the same material with the hand strap. Price: 2,415 JPY (around $21 USD).
Casual Line: Made of cloth and leather plate, the same material with the hand strap. Price: 1,365 JPY (around $12 USD).
There is no plan about the Urban Line for neck strap yet.
The North American release date has not been revealed yet.

I wish sony would've brought out a $199 basic pack in the U.S. because most of the stuff in there is crap... guess they're realizing this. Now they're basically insulting us by adding a 1gig stick, usb cable, and a few other things that would've been nice the first time around for a cheaper price than the crappy American value pack.
But then, Sony tries to screw over consumbers as much as possible, while they think they are benefitting them. Oh well, at least I know when my PSP breaks in the near future (which it probably willl... it's a sony product) I can have peace of mind that the new psp will come with a gig stick.

Eat ****, you useless ****s. I get so ****ing sick of seeing you talk about having FIVE 1GB MS PRO DUOS AND THREE PSPS OMG!. Your parents are doing you a disservice if they're buying all this for you. Not only are they promoting habits that take away from having a real life or getting exercise, but they're teaching you that you can get whatever you want. It's digusting.

Are you upset because you can't buy 2 PSP's (like me) or you can't buy 5 Memory sticks? I am 24 years old with a great job, so I bought myself 2 psp's and 2 Gig-sticks. It seems like someone here is a HATER!!! And perhaps other's who's parents buy this for them are paid and they like to see their child with all the hot **** that they would have wanted. So don't hate...Get your money up so that you can throw it away like some of us!
Don't get mad because you are broke!

I bought my psp value pack for $350, but I feel no need to complain, at least I was able to use it to keep myself entertained longer and impress a few people with it before it became popular and common in my area.
I will definitely be purchasing a second psp system for spare parts (I intend to fix my psp by myself, a lot of the parts can be removed with regular household tools), and now that the price has come down and a 1 gig memory stick is included with the psp I can rest assured that I will require less money for both of these things.

And hey, don't be mad at Sony. Like was said, everyone knows the price of video game systems goes down over time. Don't be pissy just because you didn't want to wait.
