Available through retail outlets on March 24, the company continues its consumer-centric legacy with the release of the PSP Value Pack for a suggested retail price of $249.99 U.S./$299.99 CND. In addition to the revolutionary PSP hardware, the PSP Value Pack contains an unprecedented added-value package of accessories and entertainment content, including 32 MB Memory Stick Duo(TM), headphones with remote control, battery pack, AC adaptor, soft case and cleaning cloth, movie/music/game video sampler UMD disc including multiple non-interactive game demos, and for the first one million PSP Value Packs shipped, a special UMD video release of the feature film Spider-Man(TM) 2 from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Looks Ok to me if they dont increase the price for the UK. Although i guess they will.

Seems alot of people are however outraged. Given it was available for approx $180 in Japan. Which if that is the case. Id consider importing instead. Since the UMD games are not region locked.

i probably wont get one straight away....
i dont like game boys and such like anyway

$249.99?!? Whats that is english money?

I wanna get one, it looks cool.

with the high exchange rate, if its still the same, I would guess it to be around £170. At a wild guess though.

The Jap one would have cost £90

£170, thats not vad really. Might be like Candy and not get one straight away though.
Maybe wait a few months for the price to come down.

Spoiler (Click to Expand)

i checked a few sites. And it works to 130 ish quid

but i can bet they increase the prive for here. *sigh*.

Is there anyone that *doesn't* jack up the price for the UK release?
*dodges numerous flames*
They're still going to sell PSPs outside the value pack though, right?

Hopefully, but don't hold your breath
(not litrally, it's only a saying )

Heh, you're dodge missed
Its not the actual prioce that increases, irs the tax....some of us have free healthcare

Indeed. Dont count on it for a while at least.

dont they realise some of us dont want the crap!

well. i suppose they do realise something. ALOT of people are going to buy it anyway. That probably inculdes me

/me is a consumer whore.

I would get it if I wasn't too cheap. I'll ask someone to buy it for me when there's an occasion. Though, if I might rather have a new console, but when is the next new console coming out? =\

Sometime in 2006 no doubt.

PSP vs DS discussion in an appropriate thread.

( They know who this applies to ) and dont fucking ask why what who where or argue.

Any posts beyond this line that are spam/flamebait/trolling. Will be dealt with harshly.

I cant afford a PSP if it were £90 here. And even then I would need to know how much a game would cost.

(Sorry Jay 'bout my slip earlier )

Kikumbob, I heard the cost of a PSP game is the same as a Xbox/PS2/GC new game ($50 over here).
So, discussion of the PSP. Money's a precious thing for me to come by, I just can't justify it at the moment. $250's too much for me. I'd rather get some new performance-enhancing stuff for my PC at that price. The only game that even slightly interests me at the moment on the PSP is Darkstalkers: Chronicle. You know why But I've heard PSPs are fragile. But I'm trying not to bash the PSP. I'm pondering my DS as well. It's boring me at the moment, and I'm playing a lot more Doom II GBA on it than my DS games. There are things on it that look decent to me, but if something really really shiny comes out on the PSP... g'bye DS The mp3 player and movie player on the PSP, is a feature that really I don't give a crap about. I've a CD player for music, and I watch few movies. Only time will tell which is better. It's hard to compare them, as they're both quite different.
