Sony announces UK PSP price cut
Handheld to cost £130 from May
Sony has just announced a lower price point for PSP. As of Friday May 4th, you'll be able to purchase the handheld for £130 (or just EUR 170 in the rest of Europe), representing a £20 reduction from its current suggested retail price. Of course, you can expect online retailers to further reduce that figure.
It's a welcome move, obviously, although critics may immediately point out it's a reduction that is likely to lack the necessary aggression to fully compete with the price of Nintendo's £99 DS. Then again, they are very different machines, both technically and with regards to their function within the handheld space, and the new price should certainly convince a number of consumers to opt for Sony's machine.
In a related announcement, the publisher has revealed a further five titles are to be added to its lower-priced Platinum range.
You should expect to soon pick up Ridge Racer 2, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Killzone: Liberation, LocoRoco and MotoGP for just £15. Check those links for our reviews.
