PSP-2000 in Europe before Japan
Well, this is where things get a little tricky. Yes, Europe will get it early, but there's also a marketing maneuver being used in Japan in regards to the PSP Lite. Turns out the Crisis Core edition of the PSP will release in Japan on Sept. 13, a week before the the official PSP Lite does. The special edition unit will only have 77,777 made. But, now we're just getting picky, let's enjoy the moment for Europe. Yay for Europe, for once you don't have to wait months after everyone else.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!
You finally used EURO price when refering to EUROpe instead of Pounds!!! Amen.
Christopher Grant @ Jul 20th 2007 10:32AM
We use whatever price the companies use in their marketing materials. Hate to break this to you, but they often use Pounds and not Euros.
ssuk @ Jul 20th 2007 10:32AM
Because the press release said euros, not pounds.

The Crisis Core edition will probably tempt me into buying a PSP-2000. That game better be worthy of the name Final Fantasy VII.

This should make up for all those PSPs those awful people at Lik-Sang sold the poor, poor Europeans.

Does anyone else think the color selection is kind of... well... fruity?

It's PSP-2000. Get it right stupid =D
ssuk @ Jul 20th 2007 10:33AM
They said we'd have the PS3 the same time as US/JP teritories got it... Well, see what happened there. I'll believe a release before JAPAN of all places, when I see it.

$100 says the ad campaign for this is an attractive girl grabbing a fat girls, well fat. And words that say something like, "Slim is in."
Anyways I'm glad to see the Europeans get something first, they always seem to be the last to get anything game related.

Except she doesn't look any thinner. She'll probably be featured with an emptier head, 'cause she sure isn't any brighter.

That works out at roughly £114; thats cheaper than the current PSP in England...

They are only getting it first so they work out any bugs before releasing it into bigger markets.

I'll buy one for a dollar to fifty and not anymore. It's already tough enough supporting Wii and DS.
ThornedVenom @ Jul 20th 2007 12:25PM
Is it just me, or does this seem like a sly plot to force tech geeks/rabid fanboys to pay full European price for an imported PSP before it actually launches on own territory (here Japan)?
hvnlysoldr @ Jul 20th 2007 12:39PM
Why do you think they sued Liksang out of business?
ThornedVenom @ Jul 21st 2007 12:33AM
Sorry, but I shamelessly have missed out the Lik-Sang story. =(

I can't believe they have the audacity to call it "PSP Lite". I guess they fired their whole marketing department after that rap blunder and had to come up with something on their own.

Idiot. People are calling it that because the official name, PSP 2000, is stupid. Pay attention.
