Hehe a little over exageration. Ps2 came out at $300 its never been more then that.. And thats where the X-box came out at. The only thing that i know which was expensive was the Sega Saturn until the playstation came out.
Also other things i just read on the Psp is that it will incoperate two processor's.. It will have a 3d card.. and the mini-disc's that they are new optical some storage.. But supposdly its suppose to be like 10times more powerful then the Playstation.. Also other info is Sony is suppose to be giving an emulator for the computer so that developers can start working on games for it in Augest so they can have a bunch ready for the launch in fall 2004.
Sounds expensive. Could Sony be opting for an opposite approach to Nintendo, i.e. cheap hardware, expensive games? It'd be tough to strike middle ground, but I suppose if any company can it would be Sony.
It's got to be better than Nokia with its mobile phone/handheld N-Gage. The company slated the GBA as being for kids saying that the N-Gage was for the more lucrative 20 to 25-year-old market. I'm just beyond that age bracket but would rather have my 'kiddie' GBA than have to spend £299 (US$480) to be able to call my friends and play Tomb Raider on the train.
Here's a link to an article detailing the PSP's specs: http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/news/default...pagetype=2
