PSP Price = $150? - Private Hudson - 26th August 2004 From TeamXBox funnily enough.. Do YOU have a small penis like these people? Quote:PSM August talks PSP's price Hrmm..? PSP Price = $150? - Sacred Jellybean - 26th August 2004 If the PSP turns out to be priced like that, then Sony will really be giving Nintendo a run for its money. Nintendo will have to release the DS for the same price to sufficiently compete. At the same time, of course, Sony will be losing money with each unit... but what better way to get their foot in the door of the handheld market, that will probably pay off later? Has Nintendo already announced what the DS's price? I seem to remember it being confirmed as $200, but I'm not positive. If that's the case, they need to bump that down $50. Not to say I BELIEVE this. It's more than likely bullshit. Speculation never hurt anyone, though. :) PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 27th August 2004 Yeah, I don't believe this. Seems way too low. I'd say the rumor that is more likely to happen is the delay later into next year... PSP Price = $150? - OB1 - 27th August 2004 Nintendo's screwed if this happens, but I don't believe it. PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 27th August 2004 Well, the more they delay it the cheaper the parts get, so delay it long enough and this is possible... :) PSP Price = $150? - OB1 - 27th August 2004 Yeah but still not $150 possible... PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 27th August 2004 Well if it's enough years... :D PSP Price = $150? - OB1 - 27th August 2004 They're not Nintendo, you know. PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 27th August 2004 True. So that's unlikely. But rumors continue to swirl about a delay to Q2 '05 (from the current Q1 '05, I believe)... PSP Price = $150? - OB1 - 27th August 2004 Ooooh, big delay! :p PSP Price = $150? - Great Rumbler - 27th August 2004 I doubt it'll be lower than $200. They said at E3 I think that the PSP is a high-end electronic device and it'll be priced as such. PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 27th August 2004 Yeah, I attribute this to wishful thinking. PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 5th September 2004 Hmm, they still won't talk about battery life... Oh, and no user-writable UMDs. Or even developer-writable ones. It'll work like the GB -- only Sony can make the disks. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/09/02/news_6106399.html Quote:GDCE 2004: PSP presentation informs, disappoints PSP Price = $150? - Great Rumbler - 5th September 2004 Quote:"I have no idea what the battery life is going to be like. It will depend on a lot of factors, like how loud the player has the volume." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh man, that's just so...wait...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously, though, that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 5th September 2004 No, that is actually true. As you'd know if you've played much Game Boy. Volume definitely affects battery life to a noticable degree... but you're right in that he is dodging the question and doesn't want to say. Oh, he may say that 'it'll be fine', but then he doesn't say, and says that it depends on stuff like volume... which while true doesn't exactly exhude confidence in them. Mixed messages here -- with GB volume affects battery life some, but even with volume on full you get decent battery life. Same with the light in the SP, I'd guess. But here... look, if it's really going to be so good, why not just say what it is? Dodging it for so long makes it look really, really suspicious. PSP Price = $150? - Private Hudson - 5th September 2004 Yah, I used to get about DOUBLE the playtime out of my batteries in a gameboy when I had the volume turned off. Is it possible that they're dodging it because they're still trying to figure out how to increase it? The other likely possibility is that they're dodging it because it's bad. But they have pretty much confirmed it in the past. It all depends on factors like using the disc and volume and the like. I guess with volume on and little disc usage (effective RAM usage) it will last around 8 hours. With lots of disc usage (lets say.. it's spinning the entire time) it's around 3 hours.

Seriously? Ha! I never knew that before. Either way though, that quote is still pretty funny. PSP Price = $150? - Private Hudson - 5th September 2004 But.. isn't the only reason that it's funny because it was stupid? If it's true, it's hardly stupid.. So.. why is it... I'm sorry. :( PSP Price = $150? - Great Rumbler - 6th September 2004 It's funny because he acts like they have no idea and brings up something like the volume to try to say that there's all theses unknown factors that they have no way of accounting for. Those factors never stopped Nintendo. PSP Price = $150? - A Black Falcon - 6th September 2004 The disk spinning one is also a valid point, as the thing has moving media and the more it moves the more the battery drains. So they'll assumedly tell developers to minimize disk use... but unlike OB1 I don't have a whole lot of confidence that they will be particularly successful at that. |
