If Sony dropped the price of the PSP to $129 and that GoW game was out, I'd buy one. There are a few games on it that I want to play but not enough to convince the wife that I need another game machine. I've already bought three in the past 6 months.

You can apparently get a PSP in the States for $169.99 and you get a $30 postal rebate with with...so effectively it's only $139.99.....only $10 more than you're level.....what a deal.

Do you work for Sony or something? Seriously dude...

 But seriously, the PSP is a good idea that failed. Sony failed to support it. UMD is a cheap and poorly designed format that holds less and costs more. Jack Trenton has already admitted to it being a bad idea. Don't expect Sony to support the format outside of the PSP and even they've lost all second and third party support in making UMD Movies. There is even speculation Sony itself will abandon the failing UMD movie market for the PSP altogether and refocus efforts on games. Unlike the Ps2 there are not really any must have games on it for the casual gamer and most stores refuse to carry about a third of the library because many PSP games, just don't sell.
