It seems as if everyone has NGP fever these days, and Sony is certainly no exception. To pave the way for the long-awaited handheld console, the electronics giant is lowering the price of its stalwart, last-gen PSP to a sweet $130 (beginning Feb 27).
In addition, Sony has slashed the going rate of its PSP Entertainment Packs to $160.
“Since launching in 2005, the PSP platform has had a profound impact on the way we play games while on-the-go, pushing the boundaries for cross-media entertainment and setting the benchmark for quality for portable games,” explained Sony VP Scott Steinberg.
“[It has also] sold 23 million units to date in North America and more than 67 million worldwide.”
