I managed to snag the first one, but it appears that I can't access the files anymore... :?

Is this seriously legit?

**Da-J** · 10-27-2004, 07:48 AM

Yes it is, an IGN editor just posted it on the IGNPS2 boards.

**Rallyracr420** · 10-27-2004, 07:54 AM

Attording to the currency converter at http://www.xe.com/ucc/ that makes it 185.303 in USD for the standalone PSP.

Goodbye Nintendo DS.

**Neon Sentry** · 10-27-2004, 08:22 AM

Sweet fucken christ... if only I could remember if games had region locks... cause if they don't...

I'ma have a PSP on December 12th

!!!

Seriously, I was having a completely crappy day... everything was falling apart in front of me, and this is the shining beacon of hope before me

Thank you Sony. I put my trust in you once again, and you didn't let me down. I've owned the same Walkman for four years, and it still runs as well as the day I got it

My PS2... well, that I can actually blame on my siblings :roll:

But now... they've done it once again...

DS... is history 8)

**JerryL** · 10-27-2004, 08:29 AM

Neon Sentry,

I was just over at the Nintendo forums. I admit I got curious after seeing the commercial for the DS so I went there to see what was goin on. I saw your debate thread. Through that whole thread the only real argument was price. A sub $200 price tag for the PSP is what will do in the DS.

We ain't need no stinkin touch screens.

**Neon Sentry** · 10-27-2004, 08:35 AM

That thread was a joke. 9 pages, and only twice did I ever actually go "I don't really like Nintendo's games" while the whole while all they did was wine...

I posted the price and pic, and one of the guys went "Sony hasen't put it on their official site, now have they?" and made a reference to the pic being a fake

I doubt these guys are ever gonna admit defeat

PSP Forever

**speedis** · 10-27-2004, 08:43 AM

dear god this is great news! now we just need good battery aswell!

**Neon Sentry** · 10-27-2004, 08:45 AM

Fuck battery life!!! When the PSP's that cheap, I'd buy extra batteries with the extra cash!!

I wouldn't give a damn if it had two hour battery life with just music playback, I'd still be buying that thing!!!

**Neon Sentry** · 10-27-2004, 08:50 AM

Here's the link to the 'honest' thread I made...

http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/...ing&page=1

damn bastards... they finally meet a wall because their only point was the PSP' rumored price... and now they've got no ground to stand on. This one guy doesn't seem to be accepting it... kinda saddening

But I'm so happy right now!!!
