Wal-Mart jumps the gun on Pre-E3 PSP price drop? 

I picked up Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds for $20 (YES!!) but something caught my eye...the Ratchet and Clank PSP- 3000 series bundle which includes Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, a voucher for Everyday Shooter, National Treasure 2 on UMD, AND a 1GB Memory card was a WHOPPING $50 off the normal price and had been dropped to $150, which made it CHEAPER than the stand-alone PSP-3000 pack (which is $170)!!!

You read that right my friends! I even took a picture of the price sticker (above) for proof! Has Wal-Mart jumped the gun and dropped the price of the current PSP pre-E3 or is Wal-Mart just moving old stock? If YOUR local Wal-Mart has the price-drop as well, let me know be posting a comment!

Does a PSP-3000 price cut mean a new PSP is coming, or is it just a price cut? Is this even true?

DISCUSSSSSSSSS

Price cut in 1 store = it is doomed immediately?
Overreacting

Check your Wal-mart first then say that buddy

 Fine, one store chain

Happy? =/

They must be making room for that psp-go thing :o

If you check out the comments then you can see this:

As you know, I am a Manager at a Walmart, Tom, so I can tell you that the red label is indeed a Clearance tag as the previous Comment from "Anonymous" stated. As for why? Here are a couple of possibilities:
1. Enormous overstock.
2. A change in an upcoming modular (the layout for 'what goes where on the shelf') and it doesn't call for this item to be a part of the new mod.

The $150.00 pricing could suggest a Clearance, but it could also be a "Rollback" item. However, I researched it and it's not a Rollback. In fact, the $188 is a "special buy" on Walmart.com -- so I'm leaning more toward this item being cleared out by your Walmart.

By the way, is it the Dickson Walmart? Cause I could ask Debbie what's going on.

This is what Sony should do:

Keep making ALL PSP's:

PSP 1000 - $100
PSP 2000 - $130
PSP 3000 - $150

Or something like that unless PSP 1000 cost a lot more to make? Nintendo still make the DSL right? Its a cheaper version to sell to people who dont care for the extras like the camera, Sony should give consumers a cheaper version

Yeah, and let piracy run free???

 Its too late now, I mean if people want to pirate they'll just get used PSP's wont they? So they might as well push the hardware, the software will be crap but they wont stop selling completely.

Hackers will probably find a way with the PSP Go! Just like the 3000, it sucks but what can ya do
