Why is PSP so expensive

Null · 04-07-2005, 03:47 PM

people never seem to understand that dark, some *coughcrashcough* are just too quick to jump on anything bad that concerns sony.

and it is certainly not expensive. people were saying it was going to cost 400, and it gets released at 250 in a VALUE pack, normal package will prolly come out at 200, yet they still complain expensive. i dont see how its expensive when its not much over what a DS costs. i'd say both are very well priced for what they are.

At least someone (DarkMaster) understands that divisions play a huge role in the electronics business.

Sony has spent millions on it's HDTV and WEGA televisions, and Samsung is currently destroying them in that department. That is the result in the huge debt Sony Electronics is in. Don't be so trigger happy with dismal news about Sony... because it's just their Consumer Electronics division that is in debt. Different divisions are funded by different subsidiaries and third parties.

Sony Computer Entertainment is a division funded by many different subsidiary companies. The losses in their consumer electronics division hurt the company as a whole, but it does not effect the price point of the PSP.

Do your homework.... PSP is reasonably priced. Everyone might not like that it's only available as a value pack, but that's no grounds to say it is overpriced. The solo unit in Japan is $185.

EDIT: Did anyone else notice how contrived it was to post this thread, considering this article reports on their situation on June 30, 2004.

My parents just bought a Sony Wega 42" Flat Screen.

I hope that helps pull you out of debt, Sony. Best wishes.

LOL... their constribution will probably be noted, considering Samsung is owning Sony in the TV/Electronics department.

Why am I always the one that gets rebuked for starting threads of a controversial and/or pointless matter?

How dare you turn the focus of this thread toward yourself!

Crash and other members have the full right to discuss the good and bad factors of a gaming company and anything accompanied with it.
