The PSP has pretty much been a flop (remember when retailers told Sony to drop the price or else?), so Sony has officially dropped the price of the portable gaming system by $30. Once $199, the Core PSP pack (which just includes the system itself, AC adapter and a batter) now carries a $169 price tag. This only applies to North America, so European gamers still have to pay what they’ve been payin’.

I have a PSP, and even though it’s rocking custom firmware, it still goes unused for the most part. I think I’m just tired of games in general, though, so my opinion may be worthless.
