Cant find the link anymore so heres a quote :
Today during an early-morning press conference, Sony finally revealed the price point and release date for its first portable gaming device, the PSP. The PSP will launch for a suggested retail value of 38,624 Yen, or 349.99 dollars in the USA.
Talk of a "competitive price point" quickly dissolved with news of this shocking price point. In its statement, Sony commented that the PSP is "not meant to compete directly with the market targeted by the Nintendo DS" and that it is "appropriately priced for its expectations and target demographic." Sony noted, however, that they hope to "bring new consumers into the world of portable gaming" noting that the PSP is "the most advanced handheld device for gaming ever conceived."
Also of importance during the press conference was the target release dates for Japan and USA.
Sony announced that it plans to launch in Japan on December 21st with "at least 12 games" and in the USA during the month of March, although it's interesting to note that they did not set a specific day for this event. The PSP is expected to launch with at least 8 games in the USA, but Sony says "it expects even more than twelve", including the new Need For Speed Underground.
Approximately £200, looks like i'll be getting the DS then...

That's a rather rnadom Yen cost.
I presume it'll be 40000 yen in Japan, I mean 38642 or whatever isn't exactly roundish.
Maybe it is in Japanese.

That's what I'm guessing as well. Although if we're lucky then they'll announce it as €350 which will be about £250. Still a hell of a lot of money though.

if the DS is £99 or less ill buy one here. be a pain if the americans get theirs for £85 and we pay something stupid like £150. Will be interesting to see how well the PSP sells. £200 for a handheld is rather steep.

Not everyone is going to like you lin life Stridman, hell, could you point out the ones that do?
In anycase, as I said, not everyone is going to like you, and you have to live with that. Telling people to "go away" is pretty stupid, really.
