PSP games to cost £35

[wraggster]

Sony appears to have today confirmed that games for PSP will cost £35 in the UK.

While we've long known that the machine itself will retail for £180, this is the first time that a credible source has revealed a price for the handheld's software.

The reports have emanated from industry publication MCV, which baldly states that "Sony this week revealed that PSP software will retail in the UK for £34.99".

However, further intrigue comes from the fact that, when we spoke to a Sony representative, they were unable to confirm that such an announcement had actually been made. Instead, they were only able to tell us that a statement will be released in the near future.

If the price of PSP games is indeed verified at £35 - which it almost certainly will be - it would be higher than many gamers were hoping for, particularly as DS titles retail for a fiver less.

We'll bring you more on this story in the very near future.

PSP will be launched in the UK on 1 September

If this is the case then the PSP will not sell very well.
