The price point of PSP 3000 at $149.99 and PSP Go (which most people said was going to cost $300.00) at $249.99 is much more reasonable than DS Lite at $129.99 and DSi at $169.99. DS Lite should cost no more than $99.99 with DSi out and DSi should cost only $149.99.

Huh? The new PSP version costs $100 more? Why is that? or what is PSP Go exactly... new CPU and graphics?

 

It's probably cheaper to make than the older psp's: smaller screen, no umd drive, possibly smaller battery (with a smaller screen they can chop the battery without losing performance). 

Basically a huge cash-in.

So in other words..it's a new product. e.e

 

It's not a new product, it's a repackaging of an old product.

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize that reducing the size, taking out the UMD drive and adding bluetooth capabilities actually was repackaging an old product. e.e I'm not saying it's a great deal or that I'm happy about the price point. I'm just tired of seeing trollish posts from people who wouldn't have bought the product in the first place.

 

Then by your definition the ps2 they are selling this year isn't the same product as last year since they shrinked the innards too.

Whatever rows your boat dude.
