Power to the PSP! - Image 1

Gather around, Australian readers. May 24 is a day of good news for you all. Beginning today, Sony is slashing the price of the PSP by AU$ 70. May 24 is also the day when the PSP's Go!Cam accessory comes out, as well as five platinum titles which will be selling at rock bottom prices.

Previously sold for AU$ 350 (US$ 287), the PSP base pack will now be out in stores for a recommended retail price of AU$ 279.95 (US$ 230). In addition, the Go!Cam accessory will also be out in stores, selling for AU$ 79.95 (US$ 65).

For people who aren't interested in the accessories, but are simply looking for quality games, they've got them at bargain prices too. Ridge Racer 2, Tekken, Killzone: Liberation, Loco Roco, and Moto GP are now listed as platinum titles, and will sell for AU$ 29.95 (US$ 25)

As you can probably guess, expect more gamers to grab themselves a PSP or two, along with some quality games once word gets out. In the meantime, you can always hurry along and beat other people to the punch.

on the psu (playstation universe) forums a guy saw a girl on a train from SCE and went over her notes while she wasn't looking (it was legit) one of the things it said about the go!cam was it planned to "Dispell the popular media rumor that the go!cam is only 1.3 mega pixels".

so it could be better than we think

The freaking camera has the text "1.3 megapixels" printed on to it!

Anyway, what's the big deal about that? 1.3Mp is more than enough for a 480x272 screen.

# not as bad as you may think — Guest 2007-05-24 07:32

The video on the cam is gorgeous. At 1.3mp it might seem like a cell phone cam, but the video is really something to look at. It is smooth, crisp and not like a cellphone at all! The pictures are so-so (provided the light you're filming in is nice and bright).

The camera is really only good if you don't already have a camera. I didn't and I imported it from Japan (which is still the cheaper option, by the way) and I thought it was totally worth it. If you've already got a camera and carry it around with you then you don't need this.

One problem I've encountered is lack of a suitable case for the chotto whilst it's attatched to the PSP.
