if you notice the price went up about 25% for this package, yes it hasgreat additions making this pack amazing but but from what I heard from sources the device weighs a bit more.

 my sources are normally 85% accurate.  They also are saying that PS3 360 shipments of GTA4 are basically 2.7m/3m. Lets see if they are right now that one. lol

Well i don't think it looks all that great, and if you buy it, you come third to me! GOLD PSP FTW!

 25% still doesn't really equal the price of bronze plating though.  Bronze is very expensive let alone the molding process which would either involve custom work from a place or by converting a factory for 60,000 Psps.

They still would have had to of got a REALLY good deal.  Brass plated maybe.... Actual bronze... just seems to expensive... unless like i said they got a really good deal.

I'll repeat it again.

POST A LEGITIMATE SOURCE THAT EVEN *HINTS* AT THIS 

and we'll believe you.

Frankly, you haven't got an ounce of evidence supporting this. The black PSP's "Value Pack" (which comes with everything that this pack has, plus a remote control that's worth no more than $5) used to sell for ¥26,040 - which translates to $250.

 That is more than the price of this pack. 

 Now, given it's been some time since then, it likely doesn't retail for that much anymore. However, that's where the "Collector's Edition" status of this pack comes into play. Collector's items typically retail for substantially more than their unlimited counterparts. That would sufficiently explain as much as a $100 difference, depending on the nature of the pack (NOT the physical contents - just the uniqueness and estimated demand of said package).

Now, given that there are a number of ways one can explain the price difference - ways that make a LOT more sense than what you're saying - you're going to have to provide straight evidence specifically stating that it is indeed made of bronze. We're talking a statement listed directly on a legitimate news website. Anything else isn't good enough.

Yeah , its just the color . Its an old value pack ( which was popular in the EU back in 05 ) with a bronze colored PSP ...

I'm amazed that they were still insisting it was actual bronze. It's incredible.
