and I'll bet launch titles will also be selling at $49.99

No actually, that's launch day...

If it counted "3-4 months", the GTA game that's in the works (among others) would be on it too...

However you're right about 49.99... Sony's own games will be 39.99... And maybe some third party games... But a lot will cost 49.99... Basically the same situation there is with PS2...

I thought I heard something about the PSP itself being expensive and the games being relatively cheap. D'oh.

Well they're called launch titles, and IGN has that same list and says

"Sony also announced the preliminary list of launch titles, to be released simultaneously with the handheld:"

before it, so yeah... Seems to make it sound like titles that shall be released on launch day...

Plus EBgames has all the titles there listed as shipping on launch day... Of course game retailers aren't always the most reliable of sources...

So all signs so far point to those titles all being availble on launch day... With even more titles not listed there being released in the few weeks and months following...

I actually got a chance to play Lumines (from the makers of Rez and Space Channel 5), and man is it wicked. If only people knew of its awesomeness, it could easily sell systems. Impressions from people who imported aren't any different either, one guy I know claimed it to be the best handheld game he'd ever played.

So yeah, anyone interested in buying a PSP at some point or another, definitely check out Lumines.
