European retailer taking PS3 pre-orders, but you have to buy a PSP too
Well, it was bound to happen. Retailers are starting to toss in conditional pre-order ultimatums. They taunt you with the promise of a PS3 pre-order, but wring your neck and shout into your ear in a comical fashion (if you're on the outside of the conflict) "you want PS3? You buy PSP too! Now price come to GPB 675!" What retailer would do such a thing? Apparently, it's the online store for HMV. Along with the 4GB PSP model, you'd also score two games for the handheld: Killzone Liberation and Gangs of London.
The America's launch saw similar packages -- multiple games, mostly. However, while getting a PSP with the PS3 may seem like a horrible theft of your wallet's livelihood, remember that the two systems work in tandem. You can get a lot out of utilizing both. We're not saying to "go for the package deal!" but... if you've wanted a PSP, this is an opportune time to score both items, along with two of the better PSP titles. Of course, GPB 675 is a very large wad of cash, so this is certainly aimed at the hardest of the core. Well guys, think about it, let us know what you think and realize that there are many other retailers to visit if this doesn't settle well with you (and it should appeal to an elite few, honestly).
