Official: PSP December 12, 19800 yen

well, that's absolute ownership in a press release right there.

What the f**k!? even 250$ sounded like financial suicide...
Utterly stunned given what i've been hearing from various sources.
 
19.800 Yen = $185.48

wow. pwned.

I might just pick up a US PSP after its first price drop and not its second or third. with competition in the maket that is bound to happen much sooner :)

I say 199.99 MSRP US based on this.

what will nintendo do?
 
Jebus, this should be an interesting price war.

Good job on the price Sony (provided it doesn't bleed you dry)
 
Craziness. I can definitely see the PSP being the "Walkman of the 21st Century" although in all honesty I expect it to sell more as a mass market device than as a game player specifically in the US. Not that that matters though.
 
So basically, this is what the rumour said yesterday, except the date is different.
24800 bundle... launch (december) games are the same.
 
Hmmm, bundle contains a 32MB Memory stick. Neat.
Any news on the US date?

Any UMD movies yet? What are the launch titles again? Screenshots? Region-lock?

Too many questions!
 
I know that people won't believe me, but I can guarantee you that at that price Sony is losing over 3 man per unit.

That's not a price point. That's fucking genocide.

You're actually lowballing it a little bit. Japan has a 5% consumption tax added (which is why there is a second price listed in the press release...the second price is what consumers actually pay).

So the actual price is about $195. Still good. Just being picky. :D
 
Everyone that said it would be $300, please get your ass in here.

:lol :lol Funny way to look at it. Seriously though, I cant imagine how much money they're going to bleed from this.. shocking stuff really.
 
I hope sony can afford to bleed money like MS does on the Xbox.

And I really don't think there's enough popcorn in the world for this thread...

I don't believe that they're losing that much but I can certainly agree that they're losing a substantial amount of money.

Even for a prestige project I think it's crazy. The business model makes even less sense than that of the Xbox.
 
Seriously, this price point will be the start of a revolution not just in portable games systems, but in all manner of portable devices. Ipod? What a ripoff! Portable DVD players? Come on, that can only do one thing, and I can do a zillion different things with my PSP!

It's a new age of gaming in several different ways! I am pleasantly surprised that Sony is willing to bring this age about so quickly.
 
Everyone that said it would be $300, please get your ass in here.

I think *everyone* thought it would be $300...save the hardcore Sony fanboys who were holding on to hope, not actual belief.

This is a complete surprise I don't think anyone was predicting.

A bad move (for the industry), in my opinion, but whatever..
