The price of a PSP in Europe is set to be violently assaulted with a sharp object next month, when Sony plans to slash at it wildly in the hopes of trimming a few pounds. And Euros, obviously, but as with the US price drop earlier this month, that particular currency simply doesn't suit the rapid weight loss imagery we're going for.

A report on GamesIndustry.Biz indicates that the retail price of the PlayStation puny will drop by £20 in the UK to £129.99 on 4 May. The rest of the continent will pay €169.99 following a drop of €30. The change in price will be accompanied by a cheaper £14.99 tag for Platinum titles, with Ridge Racer 2, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Killzone: Liberation, LocoRoco and Moto GP all being included in the range and fighting against the argument that the system doesn't have any games.

Pissed, after years of waiting to get one, I finally bought one from Ebay over the weekend for £147...


...now I find out it's dropping in price officially a week later? Typical! :mad:



(can't complain too much though, the one from Ebay is already pre-flashed with Dark_Alex's firmware and plays all the emulators I want to play so I'm happy :thumbup:)
