PSP Now Available for $129.99; New Additions to Greatest Hits and Favorites Collections

Posted by Scott Steinberg // VP of Product Marketing

Since launching in 2005, the PSP platform has had a profound impact on the way we play games while on-the-go, pushing the boundaries for cross-media entertainment and setting the benchmark for quality for portable games – not to mention selling 23 million* units to date in North America and more than 67 million worldwide. Today we’re very excited to announce that the PSP-3000 system will be available for a new low price of $129.99 (MSRP) starting February 27, 2011, offering its greatest value to date. In addition, going forward PSP Entertainment Packs will be available for $159.99 (MSRP); bringing you everything you need to experience the PSP system and an even better value.

To get the word out on PSP’s awesome new pricing, we’ll be launching a new TV and digital marketing campaign. Be sure to keep an eye on some of your favorite networks including FOX, MTV and ESPN for the new TV spot. Here’s your first look:



We at PlayStation have always been committed to delivering value and offering you the unparalleled gaming experiences.

Oh, great.

I'm not gonna enjoy the HD>PSP>DSWii that's coming up for the next few weeks, though I suppose 3DS>HDDSPWii will make up for it.

Hmm,  might be a good time to get one and load up on some games.  I was hoping for a PSPGO drop also, bummer

"making real games for real gamers", WTF? I like my psp, but come on, what kind of stupid line is that...

Anyway, it looks like Marcus PSP is only doing the end "voice" now and they didn't show him at all!

Its the ad campaign they are running. Like games on the go (iphone) are just bit sized games that aren't really games. But the PSP has REAL games. Or so the ad states (i agree though).

This is great, they finally cut the price of it officially. Plus, it's good to see more titles at a lower price, even the new ones. I hope we will see at least a minor impact on hardware and software sales, the PSP deserves everything it can get.

There's going to be a Spolision Man in Japan again. Where can I pick up those favorites because I still need to grab Killzone Liberation.

Also if you don't pick up Crisis Core for 10 dollars, then you just need to go die.

So are they completely discounting the DS then? I play my DS a hell of a lot more than I do my PSP.

I just got Boggle for my iphone (was free in a promotion!) and I'd certainly consider that a "real game" as the boardgame version has been out since forever. Before the PSP was even thought of...

Harsh, but necessary and true.
