Many sources broke the news today the Sony PSP's long awaited North American launch would finally arrive officially on March 24.
It was long suspected that the popular PSP which only came out in Japan in December, would be available in North America by the end of March. The final price for the unit will be $249, nearly $100 more than Nintendo's DS. Unlike the Japanese PSP, the North American version will come packed with a Spider-Man 2 movie on UMD.
There will be an amazing assortment of 24 games to choose from on launch day. Many may be slightly unhappy to hear that PSP games will be sold *from* $39.99 SRP, meaning that most games will probably be closer to $49.99 or maybe higher.

the price of UMD movies are RIDICULOUS!!!! I mean, 40 bucks? WTF For that much, i can buy 2-3 DVD movies!!!! Can the PSP do TV out? For 40 bucks I better be able to watch UMD movies on a full sized tv.
+
hmmm, where did you read that price? last sony said was umd movie prices will be in line with dvd prices
+
yeah where did you get the UMD movie prices? and please, if you're gonna buy a UMD so you can connect the PSP to a full sized TV, just get the DVD.
+
from an earlier post in this thread. And also i saw some japanese anime movie being sold at 39.99 on lik-sang website.
My question is, why would you buy two copies of the same movie? If sony was smart they would bundle at least their properties together... Wanna get spider-man 2 on dvd? How bout getting both bundled for an extra 5 bucks???
+
the prices at liksang for import stuff are never the retail prices, so they're definitely not a good measure for the soon to come US UMD movies. I'm sure sony won't be stupid enough to price the UMD movies more than regular DVDs.
+
will it come with all the valuepack things?
+
I agree with Brainfire that a bundle DVD/UMD option would be awesome. I also really don't mind the pricing, I look at the quality of the system, current capabilities, and the potential for future uses and it seems completely worth it. That's just me though, for some that may be too much to pay and it's understandable. I think, however, that Sony is going to hit the market it's aiming for.
+
You also must understand that Anime is already more pricey than typical films, and especially huge blockbuster hits.
+
im with vangard on gta and gt4. also bout everyone complaining. all i got against is the long ass time we have to wait.
+
I forgot to post this but awhile ago I found out that the Spiderman 2 UMD isn't even in the box, you have to mail a postcard to get it, like a rebate kind of deal.
+
what! thats gay! i want spiderman2 when i get me psp. (not the game however)
+
crud i thought it came with the psp WHEN u get it(the psp)

wow I hate mail order/rebate stuff
+
Yeah, I was talking to my manager the other day for my other job and that's what the Sony Rep. told him. It's a smart move by Sony in a business stand point because a lot of people don't bother with that stuff which saves them money.
+
Im sorry but the PSP is the best handheld out now and people might think that the nitendo ds is better!
