PSP Go price cut quietly slinks away, now priced at original $200 MSRP


When Sony hacked $50 from the PSP Go's price earlier this week, it didn't exactly trumpet the news, and now it's looking like a permanent $150 MSRP for the UMD-less handheld was too good to be true. Text across Sony's website has silently been changed to reflect a $199.99 price point for both colors of the sliding-screen system, and there seems to be no remaining evidence that Sony ever dropped the price at all. Still, we imagine it's only a matter of time before such a price cut becomes officially official, as the PSP-3000's the no-brainer choice if you're buying a PSP right now -- it's a full $70 cheaper than the less-capable Go.

  1. Clueless American sheep.

    PSP GO is better than PSP3000 for many reasons.

    Bluetooth (including tethering to 3G for online gaming)
    Faster startup
    Game suspending to flash
    InGame XMB
    MUCH better display
    better button layout
    16GB of storage (compared to nothing in the PSP3000).

  2. Given what Sony is doing on the PS3 front, I can't see ever buying anything Sony again.
