Amazing take a look at the link. they are now bundling Pink PSP's with Wii's, I guess they cant sell the pink ones so they just push what ever they cant sell onto the wii customer

I saw that a few days ago. It's a very very weird bundle.

They have also added a bit to the actual price compared to what it is actually worth.


I've noticed a few online and high street retailers now have the usual £179.99 at a significantly higher price than it should be, and people complain about Ebay resellers!



dazmando on 11 December 2007

yes I have seen web based companies selling Wiis for over £300 with nothing extra. I think that is just wrong. At least give people something. when will they reduce these prices



gawalls on 12 December 2007

thing is I know 3 people whose ordered Wii's off amazon less than 2 weeks ago and all have received them already even though the site has out of stock always.

They seem to be getting on top of their Wii demands leading up to Xmas, seems to be the best bet still




Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are... 

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony

that is a very weird bundle
if they want to do it at least do it with a related product or maybe at least from the same company ...

by "pink psp" I think they mean "pink ds"

but maybe I'm just stating the obvious here.

I'm pretty sure psps dont come in pink.

Edit: I stand corrected http://www.yourpsp.com/pink/

Thats just plain horrible. Ew.
