And after I waited and waited?I had hoped that the mega Sony PSP might come within my grasps this year but apparently not!

Sony declared that no price cut will be operated on the North American territory. "We don't necessarily see the need to cut the price," John Koller, a product manager at Sony Computer Entertainment said.

"We need to offer broader value and introduce new consumers to what the PSP can do." He said.

Since its launch from the fall of 2005, around 5.5 million pieces of Sony?s handheld gadget have been sold in only the US.

He added that Sony would soon detail how the PSP would integrate with Sony's highly anticipated next-generation game console, the PlayStation 3, which is due in November. So that would be something worth looking forward to.

For the lucky ones of you who have a PSP, tell me, is it worth paying $350 for? Because that's how much it costs where I live.
