PSP price cuts could be on the way  by James B at 01:12

Playstation
Though nothing more than strong speculation at the moment, CNN Money have an article up which touches on a PSP price-cut. Analysts expect a $50 price reduction to around $149 by Christmas. It's probably a pretty safe bet, Nintendo seem to be doing no wrong at the moment with booming DS Lite sales.

As it prepares to launch its next generation machine, Sony is apparently stockpiling finished gaming hardware, which analysts believe to be the PSP (PlayStation Portable). That, they believe, is a signal that the company plans to reduce the price of the PSP as the holidays get closer.


The real question is: would this prompt any of you to go out and get one?

***Update***
GamesIndustry.biz are reporting that a Sony UK spokesperson has said there are no plans for PSP price cut at the moment.

Played on both quite a bit courtesy of two mates. PSP only has 1 game i'd buy: Pro Evo. DS has at least 6 or 7. Enough said!

Same shagnastie, few mates have got one, didn't think much of it. I certainly am not going to buy one, ever probably.

I might be tempted if they dropped the price. Wifi Burnout, Pro evo + Wipeout would all be good times

I'd be tempted but unlikely to get one due to lack of games too. I've played on a friends and there are some great games like Loco Roco but you quickly run of games choices after that, depending on your taste.

two of my mates brought from russia with love the other day - both around the £30 mark it turned my stomach to see them pay so much for such an un known title
