I don't think they could actually be that stupid as to charge $350. Shit, I wouldn't even pay $100 for a handheld but that's just me. I wouldn't even pay $350 for a full game system nor $300 for that matter.

yeah, i'm betting the release price is in the 250-300 range. sony would be much better off imho by selling it below cost initially to get some market saturation... kinda like microsoft was during the xbox at first. either way, i see the psp as a potential gamegear repeat. average market saturation, good game support... but never achieves widespread success. truthfully, i'd like to see it succeed, but i think it is a device that will poorly oriented to the handheld gaming audience. but, the good lord above knows i've been wrong before.
