Liquid Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 the gamestop website preorder bundles come with a pelican starter pack, which is the same stuff that comes in the sony value pack. do you think they will change this? i won't need 2 sets of headphones, 2 screen cloths, 2 cases, etc. ahhhhhhhhhhh i need to get a preorder in somewhere...... 585408436[/snapback] Just wait , when Eb sees this news they aren't gonna be happy. The price they ahve is ment for 199$ console not 249$ :p It will all change. They will can the accesories pack, and include 3 games thats my guess.

Brodel Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 anyone know the realease date for the UK or Europe? I'm in Canada at the moment but going home to the UK from May - September. Maybe it would be worth buying a few and selling them on ebay in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnotwhoisayiam Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Must admit.. ive long been a fan of Nintendo and had stuck with them through every hardware iteration until the N64 and GBA SP. But i've just seen the PSP at my local impiort place and i have to admit it.. i want one. As much as appreciate that Nintendo are trying to do something different and interesting with the DS... the PSP looks awesome and has the games I want to play. Ridge Racer in my pocket? What more can a man ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo514 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 249$? 50$ games? I'll pass....for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiGdUsTy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 249$? 50$ games? I'll pass....for now. 585408550[/snapback] Same here I think Sony just priced them self?s right out of the main stream market. Guess I?ll just be a DS fan boy until Sony drops there price.

hulibecker Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think the demand is going to be that high, they could prob put almost whatever price they wanted on this machine and it would fly off the shelves! As with all things, am sure it will become cheaper as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christracy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 anyone have any idea of what the "extras" are gonna be for this "value"? I dont think 50 bucks is a deal breaker but if the extras arent useful ones then this value is just sony trying eek out more of a profit per unit.

Amnesia Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I never heard of the Spider man 2 movie and that UMD disc sampler was limited to special packs. It doesnt come with Value packs anymore. Perhaps they'll make one with the global launch, but there aren't any anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never happened. 585411122[/snapback] 21 years off and on :p They WILL release a PSP only box (so poor people can buy it too lol), but not until they have made millions off the extra worthless stuff first :cry: I will probably end up buying the $250 pack because I have $250 in best buy cards left over from xmas, besides, I am rolling in the dough anyway - j/k i wish :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanjmchale Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 http://psp.ign.com/articles/585/585345p1.html Looks like us in the UK will probably be waiting longer than March When they give a final release date if its later than march ill import one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnesia Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 i'm hoping it wont take so long though for the UK. (wait a minute, if it takes longer, it means mine is rarer hmmm...) I'm quite sure they'll release a basic, but then again, they dont sell memory cards or accessories cheaply around the world so that would be a problem.
