PSP price drop "US only" according to Sony rep |
Ó
In a bid to increase sales of the Sony PSP handheld system, GameStop and EBGames have both slashed the retail price of the PSP Core Pack by US$ 30. The Core Packs, which originally sold for US$ 199.99, are now priced at a more desirable US$ 169.99.While all of this is good news for those who want to score a PSP in North America, it seems that the price drops are not yet a worldwide phenomenon. According to CVG, there's still no UK price drop for the PSP in sight. CVG also reports that a Sony representative told the gaming news site that the price drop is "a U.S.-only thing" at the moment.
Retailers have already asked Sony to start giving the PSP price drops due to dismal sales figures for the system last year. Early March saw moves by Sony to start reducing the price of its handheld system, with PSP Senior Marketing Manager John Koller revealing that Sony is in the process of reducing parts and potentially adjusting the size of the PSP all together.

I luv cum
Course you do, just like your dad did :D.
Man if you aint living Japan or America you can go to hell as far as Sony is concerned.
psp's in america are now cheaper then nintendo ds's in the UK what the *****
I've got a PSP i dun care about drops in prices now.
Sony caved to threats that retailers would remove PSP from shelves if there was no price drop. Retailers in Japan, Canada and the Pal regions didn't threaten so Sony didn't bother applying it to them.
And you know this how? Sounds like crap to me.

I sold my old PSP for $160, lol. Looks like I'm going to buy a new PSP after the price drop, hehehe.
That is funny!
hey hey us Canucks got the deal also, on the ebgames.ca site it says there is a price drop and I called the three local outlets with them all confirming it. Time to get my 10th psp over the last two years. Maybe I'll bait and switch it for my bricked one, Can't have too many psp's, psp, psp, psp, psp, psp, psp, psp, psp, psp's
...Sony wants to clear out inventory of the old PSP before they release the revamped PSP2 this summer/fall. The new PSP2 will be on a more-battery-efficient 65nm process and will include the new features Sony had been planning for a while.

Can I ask you, how is that a stupid move? If they didn't meet the demands (better than the word caved) then their products would be off the shelf. Is it not stupid move to let the psp get off the shelf?
I *****ing hate the way SONY treats us, European customers. All we get is delayed, more expensive and with less features. I wonder why SONY treats us so badly...
stfu eurotrash
