Sony Backpedals On PSPgo Price Drop
by March 8, 2011 @ 11:37 am
It seems the PSPgo can never catch a break. Late last week, Sony revealed plans to drop the price of the UMD-free portable to $150 on its official website. Unfortunately, it turns out the mark down was merely a mistake or a premature update, as the site has dropped any mention of the reduction.
Sony themselves remain mum on the matter – there’s not even a retracted note on the site.
At its $199 asking price and limited digital selection, the PSPgo is a tough sell, considering it carries a $70 premium over that of the PSP-3000. Sleek looks can only go so far. Not to mention, with the NGP on the horizon, here’s hoping a price drop is in the PSPgo’s future sooner rather than later.
