[thexfactor]

Sony may have officially changed its mind about a PSP 2, but the company seems to have decided a price drop is in order. According to GameStop and EB Games promotional materials sent to Joystiq, the PSP Core System will be available at a discounted $30 price tag from $199.99 to $169.99, effective Tuesday, April 3. Sony hopes to give the PSP handheld a boost in its losing battle to the Nintendo DS in the portable gaming market with the price drop, free Wi-Fi available at public locations and with PS3 connectivity.

I got the value pack )with ATV offroaud fury and Lords Of The Dogtown UMD movie) for 199$ (8,521.18 INR). My dad brought it from the US and he had to pay no duty

The other one I bought for Rs.10K.

Gr8 deal :hap2:

But what I think is that they should drop the price of UMD games....PSP sale would surely increase after that....1.5k is still to expensive....

damn i read this news a few minutes ago. now i'm wondering...

how long before this change gets reflected in the grey market?

 

[F-0ccY]

Awesome news...I wonder how much it will cost here now.

 

[Unrealistic]

Wonder if Sony India would drop the price of it's official PSP by 1K+ ...

That would take down the core pack to 11K, I think.

 

[xXx]

It would surely make sense buying from grey market now...until its a reliable source....

unlikely : i asked yesterday at sony world. core was 14k, value was 20k. no chance they would drop the price by that muc, even if a price change occurred.

my money is on them skipping it altogether.

Its crazy getting anything from Sony World. If they're selling the GTA SA Hits pack which sells for 19.99$ in US for Rs.3000 in India, they've made their point that everything in the shop is for show - only.

Btw guys the price cut is US only..........
