Rumor: PSP Getting a Price Drop?

[Rock Raiyu]

E3 is coming up and that means lots of speculation about potential PSP price drop announcements. And a visitor to Wal-Mart seems to think he's spotted something. An older PSP bundle was dropped to just $150 which made it cheaper than the stand-alone PSP 3000 pack, begging the question of whether they were just trying to shift old stock or have given an indication that the price of the PSP will drop.

I picked up Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds for $20 (YES!!) but something caught my eye...the Ratchet and Clank PSP- 3000 series bundle which includes Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, a voucher for Everyday Shooter, National Treasure 2 on UMD, AND a 1GB Memory card was a WHOPPING $50 off the normal price and had been dropped to $150, which made it CHEAPER than the stand-alone PSP-3000 pack (which is $170)!!!

This is also speculation that the new PSP Go! rumor may be true afterall.

Well this would be a good way for sony the go against the DSi by making psp cheaper than it and making it cheaper also makes it easier for people to get them which might further psp homebrew since that is it's main use.

the reason why psp is not hacked very well are
1.) Fewer ppl own it
2.) More security than the DS

i really expect 2 announcements at E3
1.) Price drop
2.) PsP Go!

Red tag at Walmart means they're clearing stock...its not a price drop.
