Exactly... I knew right away when I saw that Crash had made a topic about the PSP release details, the price would be quite steep...

As Null pointed out, this is the value pack... The bad thing is, in the US apparently you'll ONLY be able to get it in the value pack (no stand-alones)...

So yes 250 for a portable game system seems steep, but the reason for that is you're getting a bunch of (mostly) useful extras too...

However I think that not releasing it as a standalone for around 175-200 is a big mistake, and expect Sony to offer them a short while after launch...
