Finally, we received about the price information of the Next Generation Portable (NGP) from an interview with a Sony insider. [img]http://www.pspgweber.com/images/PSPNews/sony-ngp-closer-screen.jpg[/img] There will be two different models (Standard Model and 3G Model) for the Next Generation Portable. The standard model will have a price list between $250 to $280. For the model with 3G support, players will able to play online in anywhere over the wireless network, as long as you subscribed with a provider. The price list will be between $320 to $350. The 3G version will also come with some extra pre-loaded applications which will make use of the 3G capabilities such as Augmented Reality.[/quote]

That seems slightly expensive.

Now double the price and add 25% VAT and you get the European pricing I wish this was a joke too.

I don't think they've learned anything from PSP and PS3 launches.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;28238476]I don't think they've learned anything from PSP and PS3 launches.[/QUOTE] The 3DS is selling for the same price. What's so bad about it?

It's official. Screw the 3DS, hello NGP.

Shame european one will be overpriced to shit.

I'm sort of inclined to believe it's because the game library won't be very large. I mean it is being nicknamed the No games portable by the community.

I don't see the hype, it's just a mini PS3.

[QUOTE=leontodd;28238913]I don't see the hype, it's just a mini ps3.[/QUOTE] PS3 has some pretty awesome exclusives, and if that means we get to play them on the go; then that's all some people need.

Way too cheap, there has to be a catch if they are going to have all the shit they promised and keep it at 250$. That or they are selling at a huge loss.

Battery life?

Good, let's see if Nintendo will also reduce the price of the 3DS [QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;28239089]Battery life?[/QUOTE] 5 hours

Fuck yes, I hightly doubt the windows phone could be any sort of match as a portable games console.

I'm not gonna buy it until it's cracked n homebrewed like the original PSP That's what made the original PSP great

I want it on launch. And then keep it sealed until someone figures out how to install Linux on it.

[QUOTE=garrynohome;28239091]It's called inferring and using past products as a base for an assumption.[/QUOTE] Neither of which constitutes evidence making your statement irrelevant so you should shush.

[QUOTE=Jorori;28239107]Good, let's see if Nintendo will also reduce the price of the 3DS[/QUOTE] That'd be a win/win, a cheap NGP, and a cheaper 3DS :buddy:

[QUOTE=Rooster Assassin;28240187]That'd be a win/win, a cheap NGP, and a cheaper 3DS :buddy:[/QUOTE] That's why competition is always a good thing

I can't decide! I'll just buy both. :buddy:

[QUOTE=Jorori;28240301]That's why competition is always a good thing[/QUOTE] have they told us the USA price.?

[QUOTE=nikomo;28240004]I want it on launch. And then keep it sealed until someone figures out how to install Linux on it.[/QUOTE] Still haven't put the effort into putting Linux on my PS3 yet.

[QUOTE=Inspector Jones;28238726]It's official. Screw the 3DS, hello NGP.[/QUOTE] Everyone said the same thing about the psp. i mean look at the vast amount of games the psp has like: Locoroco Patapon and... and.... thats all!

3G Model would be dumb to get

[QUOTE=Wii60;28240606]Everyone said the same thing about the psp. i mean look at the vast amount of games the psp has like: Locoroco Patapon and... and.... thats all![/QUOTE] Killzone Exit Crisis Core God of War Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Metal Gear Solid Peace Waker Grand Theft Auto Burnout Wipeout Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow Gradius Collection etc, etc. I wasn't all that interested in this new fangled NGP... but, I admit the hardware is interesting.

[QUOTE=Wii60;28240606]Everyone said the same thing about the psp. i mean look at the vast amount of games the psp has like: Locoroco Patapon and... and.... thats all![/QUOTE] I personally own: Megaman Powered Up Megaman Maverick Hunter X Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles I think the PSP had some pretty good games.

Forgot Resistance.
