Only $629... no biggie... just 3 times the planned launch price... I'll wait till import prices stabilize.

i heard the PSP's are country locked though. wouldn't that mean that a japanese PS would onlyplay japanese games?

i heard the japanese ones will be able to play all games from any country. but when the u.s. version comes out, it wont. i still dont see paying that much. i think i will wait until may and get it for $199.

Been watching and waiting for this for a couple of years. I bought a GBA SP when it first came out and played it continous for maybe 3 months. Biggest waste of money for me ever. Nothing but kiddie games except for my Activision Anthology game I never play anything else. Hype is big for the Nintendo DS but after seeing the PSP v.s. DS Ridge Racer games the choice is easy. Not to mention I always wanted a movie player like the Creative brand one. Looks like late March is the new date they are saying for the PSP arrival. Seems like 10 years away to me!!

The details says that it accepts Memory Sticks and its supposed to be a media player. I wonder if it'll play mp3s and mpegs...

I would think so too, but usually the Japanese gadgets work everywhere.

.

I looked at a CD/MP3 player in Target and Sony converts the MP3 to their format. Sony owns one of the bigger record labels- Columbia House.

This thing is a game player and multimedia player that supports mp3 and video/mpeg4 as well as Atrac.

I just can't believe it has a 1.4g HD in it- thats friggin awesome!

As well as USB 2.0 [and I think firewire]! I think it also has 802.11b in it too.

It does not have 1.4 GB HD in it. I believe it has only 32 MB of on-board memory. It also does not have firewire. It does have 802.11b and a Memory Stick Pro Duo port on the lower left side.

Correct, no HD. But who cares? That would just drive the price up and mean more moving parts = more things to break. I like the Memory Stick on the side and the fact that it has an actual USB port. I'd love to see someone hack this thing!

Anyone know an "official" price? For US I heard $199, $299 and the latest, $350.

Nice find. I like the side-by-side of the PSP and the Lynx. I miss my old Lynx, but this thing, with the 4" screen just rules the roost.
