Fiyat ve donanım
The announced price is set at $169.99 for the Core Pack and $199.99 for the newer PSP entertainment packages. The original version of the PSP is also set to be priced at $169.99, until they are sold out, although some stores may lower the price as a clearout sale to try and sell all of their PSP systems more rapidly. The PSP Slim will sell for EUR 169.99, and the two special limited edition ones cost EUR 199.99. Production of the original design is already halted, and by the time the new design launches (according to Sony`s speculations), the older designs should be sold out. In a demo video of the new device from E3, the slim PSP was seen to be running firmware version 3.60, which was not available for the standard PSP. This fueled speculation that the 3.60 firmware update might include features talked about at E3, such as a DLNA client.Değişik renkler ve sınırlı sürümler
