PSP price slashed to $130

In what can only be seen as a sign of the Next-Gen Portables to come, Sony will cut, nay, slash (perhaps even hack) the price of the PSP-3000 to $130 beginning this weekend. The new price removes a considerable $40 from the previous $170 MSRP. Additionally, all 3000-bundled "Entertainment Packs" will be reduced to $160. The PSP Go price will remain $200, for now.

The new price will go into effect this Sunday, just in time for the Academy Awards. "And the Oscar goes to ... value."

Still not cheap enough.

they should drop that shit to $99.99 It would probably fly off shelves. They cant compete with the DS or the 3DS. Just make the price better. Why would I ever buy this if you are interested in the PSP2?

99.99 GOLDEN PRICE

No chance I care about this knowing the glorious PSP2 is less than a year away. But I agree with JMS. Why the fuck is it not $100 at this point?!?

LOL at the PSP Go still being $200.

Do these things still break faster then 360's?

Would rather see price cut in games rather than the unit itself. Guess I'll just have to wait until the PSP2 comes out for that wish to maybe come true.

Sony may have halted production of the PSP Go, according to Andriasang. The site translates a Japanese blog from a Sony Shop employee, claiming the store won't be getting any more shipments because production is ceasing. Meanwhile, some models of the Go are at least temporarily out of stock in Japan and Europe, though it's still listed for sale in the North American Sony Store.

Stirring the pot further is a statement issued to Eurogamer, vaguely promising to continue to meet demand for the "current generation of PSPs." The company was mum on whether the PSP Go is being discontinued.

The PSP Go hasn't exactly set the world ablaze, with a high price point and software releases that are hit or miss when it comes to platform parity. Just last month we saw Sony seem to quietly drop the price, only to raise it back the following week. A discontinuation of the system now would make sense, as Sony is likely preparing its production facilities to make its upcoming handheld, the NGP.

We've contacted Sony regarding the potential discontinuation, and we'll update as more information becomes available.

It's about time.

I loved how Sony were the only ones that didn't see that thing being an epic fail.
