Whos Getting PSP This Week? No Maybes Yes Or No

I am getting it! Cant wait until this week! WHOO what a great little toy this is going to be.

I wish I could buy it. But its just too damn expensive for a portable.

Posted by CONNERMAN2000 on Mar-22-2005 06:36:

Ill get one later.

Posted by Yan on Mar-22-2005 06:38:

No.

The value pack isn't worth paying nearly $70 more for.

I'm waiting for Sony to release the next batch of PSP's with longer-lifed batteries and a more responsive square button.

oh yeah

for sure that psp is mine.

people should just bring their gameboy to help pass the time waiting in line to get one and then just sell it cause they won't be playing it anymore

Heh. Do you, by any chance, remember the NA PS2 launch? If so, any idea how high the prices for a unit on ebay rose after the first week? I'd rather forget that chapter in gaming history. Then again, I didn't partake in the release since I bought the PS2 when it was selling for $200, a normal price FOR A CONSOLE. Some of you are ready to dish out anywhere between $250 (for the regular SHITE bundle) and $450 (for the bundle with 3 or 4 games). Personally, I think you all have to reassess this situation before going forward with your transactions.

I agree its a great little toy but really not worth the $399 price tag, shit wait a couple of months and the price will go down, unless you are one of those types (who sony is banking on) that just must have the latest and greatest electronics then whats the big deal in waiting? second run systems are better in the long run anbyways cause they start to flush out all of the glitches and problems. Look in japan, the japanse psp's when playing if you bend the system a bit the umd will shoot out across the room!! anyway I'm waiting .... I'll just play my friends for now let them drop the coin down

I've actually had that gif of it since the first problems started arising. Fortunately, only about 7,000 PSP of the total first batch were in some way messed up.

Sucks for the 14,000 US folks, then (since they under-estimated Japan's release and ended up having complaints due to short stock). Hahaha...

$180, actually. (It probably came bundled with some games and/or accessories, right?) That was late in 2002/early 2003.

As of 5/11/2004, the PS2 was $150.

Damn. Then again, that's the same price I got my PS2 at and I didn't get anything with it, either. Only the nice blue packaging box that it came in.

I guess they started throwing in random games and an extra controller later on in the $180 life.
