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.
PSP-2000 in Europe before Japan
19
The PSP-2000, argh, PSP Lite will arrive in Europe before launching in Japan ... and yes, we're as shocked as you. Our Sony über-love of perfect quotations David Reeves says the PSP Lite will release in Europe early September at a €169 price, phasing out the old system. The system is not expected in Japan until September 20, sweet Mary Queen of Scot is Europe getting something early?

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.

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

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

$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...

I'll buy one for a dollar to fifty and not anymore. It's already tough enough supporting Wii and DS.

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)?

Why do you think they sued Liksang out of business?

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.
