U.S. PSP launch details, pricing

You double posted the thread, OB1..

Ah... including a memory card. It makes it look "quite a bit more expensive" but you're right, that's probably a good $40 at least for the card if you buy it seperately so overall the price is probably only a bit overpriced when compared to the price it was in Japan. But hey, Sony wants to have SOME chance of making money off this thing, and padding the price a little while keeping it below $300 seems like a fine move which won't hurt sales too much once people understand that it comes with a memory card...

As for those other extras, it has to come with a battery pack. Case and headphones? Cheap to make but it makes the bundle look better...

As for game prices, DS games are $30-$40 (mostly $30) while PSP games will be $40-$50. A definite difference, but I don't know how much that will affect game sales... it depends on how many DS games are $40 and how many PSP games are $50. If people see mostly $30 DS games and mostly $50 PSP games it would hurt the PSP a lot more than if the prices were more similar...
