Rumor: PSP Go drops price to $200 this Friday in North America

Due to our strict silk pants-only policy, the PSP Go (and, really, any other handheld) has been a hard sell -- sure, the $250 asking price isn't helping, but that may be changing in the near future. A dutiful tipster sent us the above image from his AAFES-based store of employment, indicating a $50 North American price drop to $200 for the digital-only handheld. Oddly, Sony has kept mum on the possibility, not even offering a "We don't comment on rumor and speculation" to our repeated attempts at contact.

Our friends in other retailers have yet to uncover any news of the price drop, but Sony's silence gives us the impression something's up. Perhaps you have something to share? Don't hesitate to drop us a line!

Too late?

I've seen them for 199 canadian at multiple stores...

Too  late and it's still way too much imo...

If they still have that 3 free games deal with this $199 price tag I might pick it up.  Since that would be a good deal.  

It's been 200 at every walmart i've been to and the walmart website for a while now :-S

I've been tempted to buy one but then there's the possible PSP2 announcement that keeps coming to mind.

what about normal psp ?

Yeah that would be the deal i was talking about

PSP 3000 is getting a pricecut in Europe so it could happen in NA as well!
