i was just thinking exactly the same thing

Only if you buy it today or tomorrow though.

i'd say it was getting rid of old stock myself. perhaps the new model will either be smaller or have less components, leading to a price drop (hopefully) i expect the PSP3000/4000? to get a price drop too, especially if Sony are about to have two handhelds on the market at once

I doubt we'll see a PSP2 this year... next year maybe (i.e. presenting it this year). It would make sense though, as the PSP is piracy heaven (though, the newer models aren't cracked yet).

Price drop... now it all seems, we'll see it at E3

it's a dangerous move to announce the PSP2 in the same year you persuade many devs to support the PSP3000. how could Sony have persuaded so many devs to support a system that would likely see a drop in sales because Sony were about to reveal PSP2? it doesn't make sense and requires some lateral thinking. the only way it could work is that the PSP2 is going to offer something completely different from the PSP so that there is a definite difference for consumers. making it online only would be one way of differentiating, but Sony must also have promised BC for those devs that are slaving away on a system that is likely to see a drop in sales because of the news of the PSP2. i'd suggest that the PSP2 will be more expensive by a mile (price drop of the PSP will help this) and will use a different chipset entirely to the PSP... if it's cell based then expect remote play of PS3 games to be a major feature. and expect the removal of UMD to offer the space to put in the original chipset for BC. the design will have to be a massive departure too, so that consumers don't get confused and Sony can market both successfully. i expect PSP4000 to be announced for release this year and PSP2 to be announced for late next year

Trade in a PS2 +3 games, get $100 off a PS3

Don't have a PS3 yet? Really? Why?! Gamestop has a very good promotion right now, allowing you to save $100 off the purchase of a 80GB PS3 system when you trade in your PS2 and three games. To get the credit, your system must include AV cables, power cable and a working DualShock 2 controller. Most PS2 games will be eligible for the promo, but they must be worth at least $2 in trade value, meaning your old copy of Madden '04 will definitely not work.

Considering the cost of a new PS2 is now $100, this is quite possibly the best deal you'll be able to get on selling your old and busted system. With Uncharted 2, MAG, Heavy Rain and a number of PS3 exclusives in the pipeline, now might be the time to jump in ... unless you're waiting for that still-elusive price drop.
