Retailers Give Ultimatum to Sony PSP

Retailers have told Sony that unless the PSP sees a price drop, they will drop it from their shelves, according to 1UP. Although 1UP doesn’t name retailers and is vague on the details, the site hints that if a price drop doesn’t come, something major has to happen with the PSP soon. Vince has some details about what a redesign might entail and Matt has a post about a new PSP video store that’s in the works.

Meanwhile, 1UP did speak with John Koller, senior marketing manager for the PSP, who confirmed a redesign.

According to Koller, Sony is in the process of reducing parts and potentially adjusting the size — similar to what’s been done with the PS1 and PS2. “I can at least say this much, the screen won’t be changing in size,” he said.

seems as though the PSP is reasonably priced for what you actually get - save the price drop for the new one - if and when:)

My problem with the PSP isn’t the price, or the selection of games… It’s the horrible load times. Fix that, throw in a touch screen and maybe better battery life, and I’m sold.
