"It looks like Sony isn't following the ever-popular "give U.K. products the same numerical price as U.S. products and pretend the value of their monetary denominations are equal" strategy for the PSP Go. Instead, Sony's attached a £224.99 price tag to the slide-screened handheld -- which is still considerably more expensive than £179.99, the very first PSP's U.K. price point.

Still, it's a well-known fact the good people of the United Kingdom possess an unnatural, caveman-esque fear of Universal Media Discs -- we're sure they won't mind shilling out the extra poundage."

Okay, so it's still slightly cheaper than a PS3, but still ridiculously high priced.

That price makes me feel ill, and also makes me cross PSP Go off of my "To buy" list.

thats fine....they just lost a sale, why would i pay so much money for it? SONY can be so thick

another thing, they said they are after the ipod touch crowd, uhhh unless u got an APPLE IPOD built in the GO that is such a diffrent audience to ipod, the games are an extra on the touch not the core. they can be so stupid. your actuall compatition is the DS, go fight that. pspGO? no one cares PSP £100, BIG SALES...LEARN!!!!

sorry people im just annoyed with sonys stupid ideas on the portable gaming front

I still find it odd that Sony would price this only £30 cheaper than the PS3! I mean why buy a PSP Go when you can have a whole console to use...

I already have a PS3 (60GB) and PSP-2000 but am considering getting the Go, it is just my common sense taking hold saying it is Waaaaay over-priced!

I know its way too pricey. Im still getting it though.

Sony wants to counter itself with their prices...
does that make any sense?

fucking ridiculous

PS3 is for 249.99

PSP GO is going to be the biggest "high priority" console bomb

that is just too pricey,only £25 cheaper than PS3, PSP 2000 and 3000 are much better value

Guess I'll be getting the 500Gb HDD for my Ps3 instead.

I heard Tesco's pre-order for it is £199.99, Might check next time I'm in town to see if thats true or not.
