Bargain Alert: The US$ 99 PSP

Posted May 20, 2007 at 7:56PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PSP Tags: Sony, TA-082

Thanks to a tip from NeoDraven, we found a new PSP bargain alert you guys might really like. BDC is apparently selling Sony handhelds for the rather low price of US$ 99.99.

Not much information was given on what kind of PSP you'd be getting (TA-082 units, anyone?), but it does seem like a good deal, even for people who just want to see what the whole PSP scene is like.

We will say this, though. They have a penchant for bumping up the market prices of the consoles higher than usual. It gives them a reason to say you're getting big discounts, but don't expect to really be making off with a full 60% discount from the PSP, alright?

This story sucks? This story rocks!

I did some checking on this site and basically I found out that it is under government investigation of some sort for not sending out paid merchandise. Basically it was found that this site tends to move around domains VERY often to avoid being caught and that if you read the small print it says all sales are FINAL. Im 90% sure this site is just a huge scam but I *could* be wrong.

From BBBOnline:

Customer Experience

The Bureau has recently received 9 complaints against this company. These complaints are currently pending the company's response.

Consumers allege they send money orders to a PO Box in Del Rio, TX to pay for electronics they have ordered from this company's website at www.etrofield.com, but they never receive their merchandise.

On May 4, 2007, the Bureau sent a cease and desist order to this company regarding their unauthorized use of the BBB Trademark. Although no response BBB Definition:

no response - The company failed to respond to the complaint. was received, the website www.etrofield.com is no longer up and running. However, the BBB's investigation has revealed the company changes websites every few days. The latest is www.worldcshop.com

from the article: "but don't expect to really be making off with a full 60% discount from the PSP"

somebody apparently didn't pay attention in highschool math. 60% of $170 is $102 ... if you got a 60% discount, the total price would be $70, not $99

# ugh — Guest 2007-05-21 05:39

QJ take this thing down already... its a scam, and with the quality of the readers here you will end up helping these scam artists.

QJ i am really really starting to lose my respect for you and starting to think twice before taking your word for anything and might be switching to somewhere more reliable for my news....I feel sorry for anyone who trusted QJ and got ripped on this.

# . — Guest 2007-05-21 11:36

They probably payed QJ to advertise this scam on this website. =P

# I really hope someone actually buys from this — Guest 2007-05-21 11:50

Judging by the intelligence level of some people on this site, I can REALLY see it happening too.

# Fraud — Guest 2007-05-21 13:06

Don't buy anything from this site. Don't be an idiot.
