PSP2 Price Leaked?

[GameWinner]

$299 is a bet for me, but I need to get a job this summer to get both the NGP and 3DS!

I think 300 IS believable considering GO was priced at 250, And $250 for a 3DS is not bad by any means (£155), £230 was and that's the reason I was bitching, 3DS being priced around $100 more just because its in Europe with high taxes, shops wanting to make a tidy 30% etc.
Still, can't buy until 2012/13 for lack of funds and job

And it's not the hardware that I would go for and pay more money over 3DS for, it's the games.
The quality of PSP games over DS games (Length, gameplay, visuals, everything) was astounding. I just think that a game on an NGP will last me more than twice as long as a game on a 3DS might. You can't deny that 3DS is going to get pummeled with shovelware...

To be fair, we don't know the focus Nintendo wants to have with 3DS yet. The games announced so far seems to be focused on hardcore gamers.

You can't say NGP will have more lenghty games than the 3DS... some of the games announced for 3DS are very lenghty (even if remakes).

It's from a Gamestop picture. I'd almost guarantee it's not true. They don't know what we don't know. Besides, there's nothing else in the list for it, just "Sony NGP PSP2". They've not even confirmed what the name actually is. "NGP" is just a codename, like the various DS's have. I call fake.

 

[Maedhros]

The picture is true.

This is just a placeholder price.

We'll know the true price later this year.

It's not only graphics, all the components of the NGP are pratically better than 3DS, of course we would expect the price to be higher than 3DS. If Sony release it at this price, it'll be amazing for a lot of people (me included).

Yes because the components make the console obviously. The more expensive the parts the better it must be!
And its not news that Sony undercuts the sales price under the production price look at the PS3 so this whole deal isnt that amazing like everyone says it is. Its a sales plot in the end to try and trump Nintendo and by the looks of all you guys they are succeeding

Actually it's just a "plot" to make a profit. Jesus Christ, are really trying to turn a company trying to make money as an anti-Nintendo conspiracy?

I wouldnt call it a plot, but its a strategy, same one as with the PS3
Im not saying "Booo Sony, Go Nintendo!!" since I think both of them are too damn expensive (not saying they are overpriced although Im sure the 3DS is severly overpriced but Im saying they cost too much money for me personally)

Im not a fan of Sony and yes I do prefer the Nintendo consoles mainly from a price perspective but thats it, in general its safe to say I dont like consoles in general since Im a PC gamer

And I'd think PC gamers wouldn't care much about price when they're willing to shell out $1000+ on a gaming computer.

You guys are nuts! And conditioned consumers!!

$300 is insane!

I'll pay for it on day one.

Considering the 3DS is only under 300 dollars in America, I find it hard to believe that the PSP2 would be at a price of 300 dollars, especially with all the power thats supposedly packed in there. However, it was confirmed that there are two models, one with 3g and one without, I can see the one without 3g costing 300 dollars, with 3g, however I expect will be at least 350 dollars.

I suppose it can be called a marketing plot, but I wasnt talking about conspiracy theories if thats what you thought.

Also shelling out $1000 on a PC is unnecessary for a gamer but yea I spend about 800-900 for my current PC and will upgrade it soon again for 50
The thing is a PC can be upgraded for 200-400 every 5 years and you have more use of it then a console in the end. My PC is for gaming but also for work and photoshopping and for IRC and for internet and its also my home entertainment set, a PC is in general a multifunctional machine to do more then just play games and play DVD's

 

[Net_Bastard]

Only about $50 more than the 3DS. Sounds like a fair deal. But I'm going to wait a year or so after it's release date to see what games come out for it. And to see if this is true or not.

Shit's getting more expensive, deal with it.

People think it's "reasonable" to shell out $250+ on iPods nowadays that have like 1/5th the storage space that iPods from years ago used to have. I mean the largest sized iPod (64GB) isn still 16GB short of the medium sized iPod from way back when (the max being 120GB).

But, I remember you saying a portable shouldn't cost more then a console.

3DS is severely overpriced?

You mind digging up that quote so I can admit my hypocrisy or admit your fault?

And the 3DS is still worth more than the Xbox 360 or Wii.

 

[MeritsAlone]

Really? Just 300$? That is... well, that is cheaper than i expected! I expected it to be around the console price right now. Which is 460$~~ over here. Oh well, lets not complain or they will raise the price. Just like the crowds attention made the 3DS`s price

Sorry to ruin your hopes, but it's $300 in America. Generally Europe gets screwed pretty badly with game pricing and odds are it'll be proportionally larger over there.

No, it not that serious...

As in price?

The newest form/newest tech of the 360 is $299.99...


So? 3DS got some pretty good tech on it too.

You can get some Slim models for $200. It's $300 for the top-of-the-line ones.

I'm not saying the 3DS has bad tech, I'm just finding it foolish that people criticize the NGP's unknown price even though it does have better tech than the 3DS.

I see, yea I can agree with you there...

I love how a lot of people get excited over an obvious placeholder graphic that has no bearing on what the price will actually be when it comes out. Let's not forget Gamestop previously said the 3DS was coming out in November and that the NGP was $1000. I frankly would be really surprised at $300, and would see $350 minimum, with $400 more realistic. Of course, I'm not an "industry analyst" as some in this thread would say...
