Cube-Europe: "After the recent rumours about the PSP price point, we can now safely announce the official news. The PSP will be available in Japan on December 12th, with a price point of 19,800 yen - $185. The battery life will be something like be 4-6 hours for gameplay and 4-5 hours for movies."
So not anywhere near expensive as was predicted, and with better battery power than was thought. No news on when it'll launch in the US or UK though.

So you're saying the other movie wasn't Final Fantasy?

Wow. A Final Fantasy movie.
I haven't seen the first, admittedly, but I do remember it flopping.
Metal Gear Solid...again? First two bored me, so I wont bother with that.
Devil May Cry? Admittedly I know nothing of the series but the title. Could well be good but doesn't interest me.
That's not a fanboy talking, that's me thinking of the kind of games I like.

Yeah it’s that anti Sony attitude I was expecting :-P. However they do have 2 games and at 1 excusive movie I want. So I will be getting a DS for Christmas but I will get a PSP once its out.
Ohh and those games are, Devil May Cry (first in the series of PSP games) and Metal Gear Solid: Acid. The exclusive movie is Final Fantasy: Advent Children.
For the record that’s 1 extra release game than I want for the PSP than the DS. I only want a Mario 64 DS out of the selection release games, then FF:CC which is released about 2 weeks after the console launch.

Money's on a £150 launch price for the PSP against a £99 DS (both guesses)

Is it? Ah. Tis good then. I was a little worried I have to say.. I mean it just seemed a lot less than the £200 quid people were predicting.

Don't forget that Sony will probably charge a lot more for games than Nintendo do, and also don't forget about the price of the pre-recorded movies, how much will those cost? Also I heard that due to theproblems with the PSP's batter life they were going to put back the PSP's launch over in America til Winter '05, which is at least 3 quarters of the year after the DS USA launch. I think Nintendo deserve to sit back and relax against this hand held wannabe as I am laughing everytime I hear anything go wrong with the PSP. Lets face it, does anyone actully know or want to play any of the PSP launch titles?
