FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. announced today the North American launch details for its highly anticipated PSP(TM) (PlayStation(R) Portable) handheld entertainment system. Available through retail outlets on March 24, the company continues its consumer-centric legacy with the release of the PSP Value Pack for a suggested retail price of $249.99 U.S./$299.99 CND. In addition to the revolutionary PSP hardware, the PSP Value Pack contains an unprecedented added-value package of accessories and entertainment content, including 32 MB Memory Stick Duo(TM), headphones with remote control, battery pack, AC adaptor, soft case and cleaning cloth, movie/music/game video sampler UMD disc including multiple non-interactive game demos, and for the first one million PSP Value Packs shipped, a special UMD video release of the feature film Spider-Man(TM) 2 from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

(more in press release)

$250? Plus you know that you will not find just the "value pack" in many stores. Most will force you to buy a package with the psp plus 3 games and charge you $400-500, similar to what they did with the PS2 at launch.

I'm passing on this thing, mostly because I don't need another handheld and I want to wait until the price drops a little. Plus i have to save money for school

I'll wait until writable UMD discs are available.

I'll probably get it without the valuepak. A 32mb stick is to small.

Tough luck. The value pack is the ONLY option available in the US.
