Amazon gives PSP Go their own 'price cut' |
Ó
Like with what the UK stores did last week, Amazon slashed off US$ 5 to the PSP Go. Looks like although the launch of Sony's UMD-less handheld led the PSP sales to skyrocket the past couple of weeks, the retailer does not have enough confidence that it will be able to sustain it, hence their own price cut.
From US$ 250, Amazon's selling it for US$ 244.99. It's not like it's gonna do much difference, but what's relevant about this move is that it's not exactly common to have retailers (or anyone for that matter) slashing off prices of a unit within the same month of its debut.
Sony has not made any comment about this action taken by Amazon, nor has the retailer itself. Do you find the PSP Go more attractive now that it's five bucks less in Amazon?

I fail to see how this is relevant. Amazon's whole schtick is taking a few dollars off of products that generally have low markups to get the advantage on brick and mortar stores. Nobody bothered to point out that amazons preorder price was $248.99, a dollar below it's MSRP, why bother mentioning this?
It`s just to fuel the PSP Go haters, I find it interesting that the PSP Go is both $250 in both CAD and USD. The difference right now is only 0.04, but it`s a different all right.
WOW $5 cut!!!! that is definitely going to make me purchase the go *roll eyes*
Shows how overpriced it is in the UK if retailers can afford to drop £25($40) off the £225($360) RRP.
really?
You guys are really retards huh? Or you just never shopped at Amazon. A LOT of their stuff are $3-5 off. I got my Uncharted 2 for $55.
When it comes to the price, it's more of a touch and go subject.
Until they take another $240 off, then we can talk.
The PSP go shouldn't be more than $200 if you can't even transfer your UMD games.
Sony should have made the PSP go $200, then offer an external UMD drive for $50. THAT would make it worth it to upgrade possibly.
Also, why no replaceable battery? I hate that s*it.
By prevent removing the battery is probably for security. Then the battery cannot be used as a pandora. For the users this means an expensive repairing if only the battery breaks.
Yeah we all heard Sony Blah Blah Blah replacable battery Blah Blah.. They talking a load of s**t, all they had to do was make a motherboard that won't allow service mode through the battery then they could include a replacable battery, i mean you only need a pandora battery when downgrading etc so if service mode can work through the battery you just run some wires off a normal pandoras battery and do it, so either Sony is that stupid or they just being greedy.
The hell am I supposed to do with an extra $5
Buy a pre-owned UMD? ;)

here's a bigger price drop than amazon's. unfortunately, it's for Sam's Club members only.
And which slot would that used umd go in the Psp go? Actualy if i arranged a meeting with the designers of the Psp go i could probably find a hole to shove it.
they do this so they have easy access for fixing pieces that get sent in for repair. moron
how much is shipping?
well $5 is $5 ain't it
What do you mean this article is for the psp go haters....you know that this device is overpriced and why would you hate if I could get this device cheaper than what you bought it for then you would become the hater so I will wait until the price drops a good bit before I buy this so call device!!!
... the price should drop to something resembling sanity
In any case till a CFW if ever appears its a, quoting Rutger Hauer from The Hitcher, Go ... you useless ... waste.
