SCEE has confirmed to MCV that the PSPgo is getting a price cut here in the UK. The digital download only console will get a discount of £65, taking the price down to a bargain £159.99.
It’s still more expensive than the UMD-enabled PSP-3000, mind, which retails at £135, but the Go’s a cracking machine if you’re happy paying PSN Store prices.
It’s not clear when the price cut will come into effect but we’re suggesting holding off on your trip to GAME just now until it’s all confirmed. Likewise, we don’t know if Sony will still offer the 10 free games it’s currently doing to entice new owners.
So, interested now?

Big discount but not enough, needs to be lower to entice people. But if they are still doing the 10 games free it makes it a little bit more appealing.

download only was stupid, the store prices are insanely high

how do you drive when you are playing the psp? or do you tell the missus to drive so you can get some game time! I would be kicked out of the car if I did that :-)

they need to drop the price to £100. then it may actually start selling, despite rumours/stories about the psp2

As painful as it might feel to Sony, I really feel that this price point is what they need to aim for. Seeing that elusive £99 on the likes of Play.com would make it an impulse purchase to many, I’m sure.

Possibly even me, even though in my mind I am just going to sit back, watch the world go by, and wait 5 years for the PSP2 to be released and reach the £159 price point!

It’s not so much paying PSN Store prices its often waiting for stuff to arrive, if at all.
Still a tad on the expensive side IMO, but then again I probably wouldn’t buy one no matter how cheap they got

Sweet. I sold mine just at the right time then.

still too much money I think. I also prefer physical games, I know….I’m getting old fashioned.

Are people going to any better of with this price cut though as I presume the deal with 10 free games (or whatever it was) will have conveniently expired?
solidsteven
No deal sony unless you lower the prices

Still too expensive (although I bought one at launch price anyway).

OK well thats the RRP. I paid £175 for mine with 10 free games and a £20 PSN card. Take off £65 and give the same deal, its £110 with 10 free games and £20 PSN card, which is MUCH better.

I’m with you, I got mine for the same price with the same perks from Shopto, not missing UMD games, minis are the way forward!
