wow, thats pretty steep. I don’t know if I’d go for that. I think I’d rather take my chances with the Nintendo DS @ $150. source: > **[PSP Pricing Announced - Slashdot](https://games.slashdot.org/story/04/09/28/1427259/psp-pricing-announced)** > > Grey Ninja writes "GC Advanced has reported from the Tokyo Game Show that the PSP will retail for $349.99.

Just wait until I buy one, then they will go down to $150 ---

ooo the rumor update wasnt there when I first read it. That brings some optimism to the table. As for the other aspects of PSP - DVD player… MP3 player… doesn’t this thing take UMDs? What good are they when my DVD collection is comprised of “normal” DVDs? And what of MP3s. Will I have a way to burn MP3 disks for the thing? ---

it supports DVD and mp3´s but still expensive…they have it complicated against DS IMHO ---

I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t annouced at TGS. I was following the coverage of that and haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere but slashdot, and they’re not the most reliable video game news source in the business. Also, it doesn’t support DVD’s, they wouldn’t fit in it. (They use UMD video) ---

I dont think that is the price or wont be the final price. They would price themselves right out of the game. I’ll hunt around and see if there is anything more reliable. ---

Wow, all of them are over priced considering all they are are flimsy handheld devices that only allow you to play games and simple applications. ☹
