Sony Announces PSP Release Date and Price

154

Sony has finally made their move and announced the United States release date for their PSP handheld. It will be in stores on March 24 as the PSP Value Pack, selling for $249.

In addition to the revolutionary PSP hardware, the PSP Value Pack contains an unprecedented added-value package of accessories and entertainment content, including 32 MB Memory Stick Duo(TM), headphones with remote control, battery pack, AC adaptor, soft case and cleaning cloth, movie/music/game video sampler UMD disc including multiple non-interactive game demos, and for the first one million PSP Value Packs shipped, a special UMD video release of the feature film Spider-Man(TM) 2 from Sony Pictures Entertainment.
One million units will be made available for the first week of sales. This announcement only makes mention of the PSP Value Pack and says nothing about a standalone release of the hardware. Sounds like if you don't want to pay for all the extra accessories, you may have to wait a while.
