U.S. PSP launch details, pricing

[A Black Falcon]

The headphones sound like they might be good ones though, since the remote ones that Sony make are quite expensive.

What matters is how expensive they are to make, not how much Sony thinks they can sell them for by themselves...

Like I said, these are mostly likely just early life numbers. Remember that third-party GBA games used to be $40.

True, but the Nintendo GBA games were always officially $30, right? It was the third-party stuff that was over that, if I remember correctly. Here it's Sony saying that the standard PSP game price will be $40. There's a difference there. It's not surprising, though -- between the fact that the PSP is a powerful console that asks for expensive-to-make games and other factors (is PSP media more expensive to make than DS cards?), I'd expect it to cost more than GBA or DS games. As for the DS, I'd expect that the cheaper-to-make media at least partially helps with the fact that the games presumably cost more to make than GBA games...
