Took their merry time about it, but where is the uk price? Come on Sony, tired of waiting.

Need a dose of Ridge Racers to ease my need for speed.

Well $249.99 is £132.837 according to xe.net, so maybe we'll get a $140 price point? And that was including Spider-Man 2 On UMD?

I think Ninty may just get a run for their money on this one.

I still think it'll be £ for $. Sony want to sell us it, but they know it sells itself; why cut their own profits?

Admit it, £250 is STILL a good price.

I suppose if you compare a release RRP of £250 to the release RRP of £599 for the Philips CDi, then yeah it's good. But when you can have one imported and delivered to your door for a little over £150, it's crap.

There's no way on earth they will launch the PSP at £250. They'd sell fewer units than a fridge salesman in the Arctic.

I think that £140-£150 would be OK. Maybe a £120 price point for the basic PSP with no luxury add-ons like the cleaning cloth.
