PSP Go already discounted in the UK

Oop. So much for the PSP Go's premium "aspirational" pricing -- several UK retailers have already discounted Sony's newest handheld to £199 ($319) after launch weekend. That's not a massive drop from the £224 ($358) MSRP, but it's still pretty notable, especially considering the PSP-3000 has an MSRP of £139 ($221). No wonder Sony thinks the Go will drive PSP-3000 purchases -- too bad it couldn't figure out a way to make the Go interesting enough to sell itself.

Yet again Engadget and their hoarde of clueless followers show their stupidity.

The PSPGo was always £199 in the UK, very few of us paid the RRP, so that makes it' £60 more than a PSP3000.

Guess how much a 16GB memory stick costs... £60.... So to make a PSP3000 with 16GB of memory like the Go, you have to spend, wait for it.... £199...

Of course you don't get Bluetooth and £70 worth of free games...

Regardless of if you are buying for fresh or upgrading, the PSP Go is FAR better value.
