PSP Price Drop? Not This Year

PSP World Writes:

"While we all sit and wait patiently for the PS3 price drop that never comes, our minds wander to Sony's other console, the PSP. According to recent NPD hardware figures, sales of the PSP have declined by 18 per cent year-over-year when compared with February 2008. This drop in sales suggests to many that a PSP price cut should be forthcoming, to spur sales of the flagging handheld."

The bigger story is how expensive the Nintendo DSi is: $170 for a couple of crappy 0.3 megapixel cameras does not seem like a good deal to me.

I want to get another PSP (sold mine a few months after launch) but dont want to find out that a new version will hit shortly after I buy a new one.

Is a touch screen with no UMD and a HDD coming or not? Thats all I want to know.

[Hotdang]

That's the only reason I haven't purchased on yet I'd hate for a newer version to drop immediately after I buy one. Nevertheless, if I wait too long that's exactly what will inevitably happen :)

Same here. Mine just broke. I could repair it, but I did that twice already (and it doesn't work that well anymore). So I would go for a new one, but these price rumors and the rumors about a new model are holding me back...and I didn't even pick up R:R yet.

BTW: If the new one would not have an UMD drive, then they need to at least sell a USB-UMD drive (like the PS2 memory card adapter) so you can transfer the games or such.

[jrsenkbe]

I think they would instead allow owners of UMD games to download their already purchased titles for free on the Playstation store by entering in the ISBN code or another unique code.

PSP CFW <---Google this. You will understand. 0.<

Well If they dont go 299 I think Ill pick up a 360 Jasper and just stop waiting for the PD. No Biggie life moves on.

You do realize, this is about the PSP, don't you ?

[RememberThe357]

not PS3.

[Nikkelz]

about a month before the next iteration comes out,besides...the ps3 is getting a much needed boost this year with those nice exclusives couple that in with a price drop and presto sony is on top of the game,so really they dont need to give the psp a price cut,atleast not until the psp 2 comes out.

peace and game on

[militant07]

you mean PS3 price cut right?

[militant07]

you mean PS3 price cut, right?

[Kurylo3d]

wasnt the ps3 price drop supposed to happen already? Everyone is always saying how its gonna drop... then it never does... sort of how they speak of the next 360 killer game... that burys 360 which is always the next game... not this one.. the next one... lol..

Its always the future with ps3... never now lol...

[RememberThe357]

"Its always the future with ps3... never now lol..."
