Thats very weird, a guy in work here said a mate of his who works in a well known shop that sell's PSP (and cd/dvds) has offered him a psp for €150, i Dont have all the info but, it seemed legit as he was offered this in front of a few members of staff in the store, he didnt have €150 on him but is calling up later to pick it up?

I reckon they're probably the stock from that van that was knocked off the week of release.

There is Game, Virigin, Golden Disks , Sony and Dixsons in Liffey Valley.

Cant see and of them selling for less than RRP

The cost price of the PSP to the retailers is over €200 so its either someone selling to their mates on the cheap i.e. stealing from the shop or it works out at €150 if you buy eleven games 13 1gig ms pro duo's and a starter kit you might make a saving of €105 on the package deal?

Untill I see a receipt from my mate with the price on it, Its a load of shíte.

maybe its not the value pack...
who cares though we all have our psps at this stage

projectmayhem

if there's one going for that price i'd get it just to play around with the whole homebrew thing. i'm not going to go mad with my psp if it means i could brick the thing

nah , they wouldnt brick that easy, psp is useless without homebrew or so it seems after you crack it. I just got a notepad and i can read/write txt files, not ure if i can play music at same time but before all this it seemed pretty much useless.

Its possible hes selling it at staff prices maybe?

WizZard

Staff prices are rarely below what the shop buys them for.

jcoote

staff price would only be like 30 or 40 quid off

Ye, its a load of bollox. My workmate was talking ****e, I made him show me the reciept and its €255. Cheeky fúcker.
