Sony has finally announced that the official release date for the PlayStation Portable is Thursday, September 1st. The PSP will only be available in New Zealand as part of a Value Pack that will include the PlayStation Portable system with a pouch, 32MB Memory Stick Duo, Battery Pack, Headphones with Remote Control, AC Adaptor, Wrist strap, cloth and a video/music/game sampler Universal Media Disc (UMD) including several non-interactive game demos. The RRP of the PSP Value Pack is $469.95.
oh gawd, that’s hideously expensive. more than a proper ps2, aiyoh! personally, i would wait until at least the second re-incarnation/build of such a thing, so they can iron out all the bugs the general user population will find and improve things like battery life [which are always an issue]… also then I could see if I really had a need for portable gaming. Luck! with the inevitable struggle you will be going thru over this ;-)
Ouch!!
i dont see the problem, i mean a creative mp3 player is 500$ and only does one function along with storage, but a psp will play videos, games ,view photos and act as an mp3 player, and is said to have better quality picture then a normal ps2 and dvd player coz of the plazma screen, and not to mention it is a portable device u could take newhere, i would say not bad for 500$. reply
DLUSN WHAT~FBK
