Were you planning on picking up a Sony PSP tomorrow from your local Gamestop or EB Games? Excellent. Were you planning on paying for it? Super excellent. As a reward for your unquestionable moral values, you'll be given a $30 discount on that purchase of "the past". You see, as of April 3, the PSP Core Pack is being marked down from $199.99 to $169.99.

Gamestop and EB Games have already received the promotional materials (as depicted above) and instructions (shown after the break) for the long overdue price drop and will no doubt have it ready to greet you within the next 24 hours. For those still wary of the giggling miasma of April Fools still lingering in the air, rest assured that we've verified this information with Gamestop. Happy PSP... ing.

Remember Play Asia are selling Pink PSPs (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2pz-71-9e-49-en-84-j-70-1p3t.html) for $159.92 until thursday.

Wow. With all this homebrew being released lately like daedalus R10 and TTPSP, i think the psp will be even more popular than it was before. Price drops are always nice.

IM back!

I think an extra $20 would make all the difference. That would bring it within the price range of the DS and kick up the notch of competition.

Can anyone confirm this?

This is good news. To maximize boost in sales, SONY should have coincided the price drop with a major commercial game release.

But on second thought, there are now plenty of great PSP games to give plenty of reasons to want a PSP.

Now we will have to look at the sales figures to see if the PSP starts selling more units.
