WOW GREAT GREAT....$119.00 :eek: R U GUYS ON CRACK!? HOW ABOUT $49.99. NO IDIOT IS GOING 2 PAY OVER 130 FOR THAT. :mad:

See now I thought this was a pretty sweet product, I had no idea they were gonna put a price tag like that on it. What a stupid way to kill an otherwise excellent idea. I expected it to be overpriced for what it is, but 119 dollars is ridiculous.

seriously, $119? with quantity discounts up to 50 for $94...who the hell do you think your target market is? that often overlooked psp need in corporate america? whoever is in charge of your pricing schemes should be fired, they're gonna cost you a bunch of money.

think about your target market...teen to 30, these are not the group of people who historically have a lot of expendable income. the school of thought that says you jack the price up and sell less but make more overall is not going to be effective in this instance - it can never be when you're neglecting such a huge number from your potential customers. does it really cost so much to make these things or is your profit margin per unit just huge? if you've got the room on the books, drop the retail price and you'll see your sales significantly increase.

i like the $49 idea, its gonna be hard for most to rationalize much more especially since psp games are designed for small screens so stretching them across a big one won't look that great anyways.

good products are only as profitable as the marketing behind them, don't screw it up

if you wanted to play a handheld ps2 on big screen then buy a PS2 lol? makes sense

[Allergenetic]

They have polished this product up quite well and I'm happy to see what they have done with it. I was looking forward to snatching one if it was $60 or less, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait a while to get my hands on either a used one or wait until the price goes down.

Not bashing the price or the product, I just don't have that kind of money towards such an investment. I still love what they have done.

Agreed

I thoguht this was a really kick ass product till that 119 dollar price tag droped like the bomb on hiroshima. Drop the price and I might think about it. Around the time I get a DS and give up on my PSP

[Plude220]

Only the $RICH$ or STUPID will buy this at $119.00 thats allmost half the price of the Friggen PSP!!!! Hell it probaly only cost the $10 or $20 to make the thing at $119.00 thats highway robery.. I like the $49.99 Idea.

[oldsage]

Hmm, destroy the warranty on my $250 1.5 psp just so i can play it on a TV...
Oh yeah, and now i have to pay half what it cost me to buy the thing just for a glorified adapter?!
Oh wait, but there's S-Video... :rolleyes:

[xuphorz]

120$?
that's freaking expensive for what it does, but still i'll probly get one

[Xarius]

Part of me wonders if they're announcing a rediculous price so that the real intended price doesn't seem as bad. People would be more willing to pay $70 when it used to be $120.

Does it play the umd videos? It would be cool if it did, because there really is no point to buy the umd movies if you have to buy the movie again just to watch it on your home tv.

[Psphreak]

wow..pay 119 to remove a unit's portability, how lame can people be? You wanna play movies on your tv get a freaking DVD player!!

anything that displays or audio-izes on the psp can be on tv
so, yes it can

[Drumst1ck]

Ouch!!! Thats more blingage than I had in reserve for these. Hrrrrmm I'll have to wait till a review comes out and see if it is truly worth it

[RedKing14CA]

listen, the people that really want these, like X-play was complaining about the psp not having avideo output, rich reviewer's and such are going to be the first people to buy these.... i was thinkin' they might release 'em for 200$ at first, just to sell maybe 20-30 and make 3000-4000 dollars, and then drop the price to a straight 100$ to let rich people buy them, and make maybe another 3000-5000 dollars, and if they're smart they will lower the price to 50$ and make millions!!!

[ddblue]

I for one, enjoy imported games, but have no ****ing clue as to how making a PS2 play them works, so the fact that I wanted a PSP anyway turns out to be really convenient, since games on it aren't region specific... the problem is, the friggin' japanese writing ends up being too small for me to be able to see well enough to look up in a dictionary, so being able to hook up to a TV would be sweet.

I'd pay up to $70 for this, and I think most others would eventually agree with this price... I guess now we just wait, and hope they don't lose so much money that they go under before they have a chance to lower their prices...

[ArugulaZ]

I'd be more excited if they just released a PS2 controller converter for the PSP. I hate hate HATE the seperated D-pad on the PSP and would like the opportunity to use something else... say, a joystick or even my replica Sega Saturn controller. The ability to play PSP games on a television set is pretty cool, but I could live without that feature if it shaves ninety bucks off the price.
