Yeah nmaster, I don't see your point. $250 is likely for the rev, but there's no proof for almost half a year. Also, it won't be coming out for even longer, and as we so often point out, the handheld and console markets are VERY different. Which is why an attempt to replicate a console in handheld form is doing badly. Sure, it's still overpriced, but this IS a great deal. Saves quite a bit of money from the old package.

That's an oxymoron...

And anyone who can't see Nintendo's pricing strategy coming from 5 miles away is really an idiot. It doesn't take an economist to say it's going to hit for $200 or $250. And, being an economist, I can say there's at least a 90% chance of that.

Sony's got you people so blinded...it's amazing how easily people are dupped...

It IS a good deal, when compared to the only other way of getting one. You pretty much get an extra gig for $50. If I recall those duos are expensive, and the price of a 1G is near $100. I'm no economist (then again, technically you aren't either YET), but I can do basic math.

$100 (Price of a 1gb)
- $20 (Price of 32mb)
$80 difference

$300 (New 1gb PSP package)
- $250 (32mb PSP package)
$50 difference


Do I detect a $30+ saving there? Regardless of how much they rip you off, it's STILL a better deal, especially considering the use of a 1gb stick.

I realize technically your saving money from the previous price, but my argument is that it should have been cheaper to begin with, and that Sony is screwing everybody. So, yeah, it's a deal in comparison to previous deals, but it doesn't mean any of the deals are really fair to the consumer...

...and where the heck did lightsaber slicing come into play?
