PSP's official price point? Word on the street suggests it will retail for more than expected.

Mentioned at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony has un-officially announced a price of $349.99 for the handheld.

This further suggests many previous guesses that the PlayStation Portable would be at least $300 at launch, and more than double the price of the Nintendo DS. No software has yet been announced to launch alongside the system, but the price is likely to have been influenced by the MP3 player and DVD player functionality of the portable system.

While this is NOT officially announced by Sony as previously thought (our appologies), rest assure as we will bring you the latest.

Stay tuned to Advanced Media for the upcoming expansion, complete coverage of the PlayStation Portable.

rumors amuse me. hehe

the DVD fuctionality they mention is just the movies on its own disc format isnt it?

I believe all forms of media for the PSP will be in HMD(not sure what that means though)

I would get this handheld but I don't think I could afford it.

if the PSP is $300+, there is no way in hell I'll be buying one, unless it drops in price significantly (I know it does at a lot, but $300 USD alone is nearly $400 CAD, no god damn way in hell will I pay that).

UMD, not HMD.

Thats too expensive to pay for a handheld. Waaaaay too expensive. I wouldnt buy it, even if i have been looking foreward to it, just because it will be like, $700 cdn. Do you know what you can buy for $700? A TV....a stereo, and a PStwo to go with your shiney new TV and stereo.

(And i think Deejz meant UMD, because the "H" and the "U" are right next to eachother.)

it has no official price. show me the CDN$700 price tag you saw in stores.

I wont be buying the thing right when it comes out no matter what the price is...but the fact of the matter is, IT HAS NO PRICE. the only thing you can safely assume is that it will be more expensive than the Nintendo DS, and that's because of its advanced tech.

Yes, that's the one. Thank you. I couldn't fully remember wha the first letter was and I couldn't find my magazine where I read it.

Wow hehe. I'm glad Nintendo is targeting a much bigger audience again.

I think I know how this will go. PSP will have a reaaaaaaaally slow start, but as long as good games are coming out for the thing, people will eventually get it, perhaps after a few price drops. But Sony will lose money on it, I think...
