Default Re: PSP Price and Release Date

I've tried to make long posts make more sense, but you've successfully pulled it off.

The PSP isn't expensive for me at all... but then again I'm out of IT school doing some good work for myself.

Still.... $250 could be high if you classify it as a gaming handheld... and $250 IS expensive for a gaming handheld.

But... you have to think $250 is for Videos, Games (especially with PS2 graphics), Mp3's, and wireless connection. If you think about it... most cell phones that have those are around $500+ like a PDA cell phone. Even the Motorola RAZR is expensive for what it does.

Things are expensive nowadays... especially packed into Mobile devices, so I'm not upset with the price. I bought a Sony Ericsson Z600 which is just a cellphone... for $165.. thats only $95 less than the PSP, and the Z600 is just a cellphone with a few extra tidbits like Bluetooth, Polytones, and 65,000 color display... but still doesn't measure up to the PSP capabilities.

Point being.... the prices will shoot up day after day when it comes to Mobile devices.
