PSP Price - Page 2

After how many times I've seen this scan get shot down at my other forums... all I can say is, I'm skeptical.

I wish it launched for like $400 so I could pass on it with ease, and wait for a few price drops...if the basic 'bundle' goes for $200 it might be too much to resist

I'm a marketing student, and Sony is damn good in this area of business.

I think the price is a steal. Considering its about Christmas gift buying time, so prices either go up a little, or down alot. Depends on the company i guess.

But Its an awesome price I think anyways....its still as much as a cosole though, so either drop the price of the console, or of the handheld. It makes no sense to me.

But i know its the release price to get back to even, so the price will probably go lower a few months after release.

why WOULDNT it be more expensive than PS2, XBX, GC? it's much more advanced technology.

I want to get it, and yet I don't. I know I want to get the DS - for many reasons. PSP I think will be a nice to have, and I'll probably wind up getting it - though it will have to wait.

I'm just curious..

And I've seen this discussion brought up before..

But why is a UK magazine quoting American prices?

I mean wouldn't it be in pounds or euros or something?

Also why didn't they announce it during their conference?

maybe they were only provided with US launch numbers

in any case, most view this as speculation...whether or not this source means a damn thing

And they spelt 'conveniently' wrong?

DarkMaster · 10-03-2004, 12:08 AM

Yeah, it's a fake. Apparently we've been owned.

*Sigh*

we were Owned with a capital "p"

EDIT: Its photoshopped. They tried to make it look normal. But I like in the first paragraph the word "Beast" is cut off by the edge to read "Bea-st". Now, a real editor would just start the whole word on the next line, considering it is impossible to hyphanate "beast" for it has 1 syllable.

looking back at it, they forget a lot of commas, and use the word "snazzy" too much. forget the "can't" "cant" thing... a real editor wouldn't get away with that crap...

and who said anything about a camera or a GPS device?

I'm pretty sure Sony has talked about both...an Eye-Toy like camera device (which could probably be used for taking pictures and the like) and I KNOW I've heard about a GPS device

Well I wouldn't consider spelling/grammar errors as it automatically being a fake article. I mean look at ign, do they even have editors? Man if I had a dollar for every mistake I've seen in articles/reviews/previews at ign.

Canyarion · 10-03-2004, 03:03 PM

Ha, as I saw the image, I had the impression that it read somewhere "don't be fooled", that would have been a cool hidden message.
But then I found out where I read it: DM's sig.

"Don't be fooled Jimmy, if a cow had the chance he'd eat you and your family."

They could have made those typos just to make it believable... would make sense to me.

Also, the 3rd package was quite ubelievable, you got a GPS, bigger stick, 'metal case' and 'translation software', for only $50 extra.

Anyway....
