I'd say you'd be very lucky if you found anywhere cutting the prices at Christmas...

be careful if you really want one before Christmas.
Remember the huge shortages on PS2s a fea years ago?
I know there was one regarding chip shortages, but they may schedule a supply not big enough and will love all the hype and press they'll get over customers running around looking for PSPs.
I doubt prices will be cut before Christmas... more likely after Christmas in the new years sales if anything.

really? suppose it makes sense not to reduce such a fast selling item. guess ill pick one up in game hopefully anyone know bout stock in there? one guy told me id be lucky to get one for christmas and another told me theyll get more in late nxt week????

I was hard pressed getting mine at all; they're selling like hotcakes and I went around a load of shops in town on Friday before I finally found somewhere that sold them (only to get one with about fifty bright pixels :mad: ), then returned it, got a new one checked it in the store and didn't see anything wrong, but I've seen it in a dark room this evening and there's one bright pixel

Anyway, yeah, buy one now or you may get it in the shorts coming up to Christmas.

Ther fact is that at the moment they are probably selling at a loss. Not only that but there is no competition so the prices won't come down for a year or so. Even if they do thats only a few quid you'll save insteads of having a psp now.

Wait until after christmas. I seriously doubt that Sony will drop the price especially when Chrimbo is a perfectly good oppurtunity to fleece the public with over priced duo memory sticks and the PSP is currently selling at a loss.

Yeah I got my ps2 afterchristmas when they came out and it was far cheaper.
