Play.com Slashes Price Of PSPGo to £149.99 [UPDATED]
In a somewhat surprising move, Play.com has one-upped other retailers by slashing the price of Sony’s newest handheld down to £149.99 from an unreasonably lame suggested price point of £224.99, just seven days after the machine launched.
Whilst this is good news, it still does not make the handheld a must-have for folks who already own a PSP; primarily due to the fact that there is no way to transfer your existing UMD collection to the PSPGo, thus completely screwing up the upgrade path for existing owners.
For everyone else, it looks like that not being an early adopter actually paid off. For those of you who did buy the machine at launch however…
That’ll learn you.
***UPDATED***
Well, that didn’t last long. It appears that Play made a boo-boo and have ‘rectified’ the price back to £199.99; a price point that is still completely ludicrous.
Ah damit! I should have checked your blog earlier, i might have had one for £150! But never £200 Sony, never you greedy c@@ts.
