The math is simple: there will be more demand than PSP, so if you want want, you're gonna have to pay the price.

but that doesnt make sense, the company offered it for 250 then they have the choice to raise the price by adding other stuff to it and keep some on the sma eprice because then trust me none are going to pay 400-500$ thats just too much.

I know, but the people that pre-ordered the PSP at $300 Canadian are (most of them at least) being forced to pay the $50 extra too.

I'm in luck bcz nobody seems to pre-order around here, but most people are VERY pissed off.

The official PSP forums is lit up with....happy....Canadians ATM

wow, now that does suck a lot.... but hey, as I said, Sony and especially video game stores are just trying to profit from the situation, I bet we're goingto live the same thing next year when the PS3 will be released.

Hehe ya.

And btw, Sony loses are $50 US from each PSP console itself.
I just feel sorry for all the guys stuck with the Gretzky game that don't want it (by the way, you CAN NOT trade it in. It's stamped with "NOT FOR RESALE" )

What?

Prejudice to Canada? I'm sorry, but then what's left for the dozens of countries that won't get the PSP for months/years? Get informed about how much time it takes for this stuff to arrive to regions like Latin America (and I don't necessarily mean poor countries, but those with bigger economies and large medium/high class groups) and then thank God that you just have to buy a game to get it

Well those countries aren't considered large markets.

And by the way, I call it prejudice because USA and Canada ALWAYS have console/game launches at the same time with the same deals...accept this time

...and USA is a much bigger market than Canada, so the proportion kinda makes sense.

You call it a prejudice as if they had anything against Canadians... it's a company decision (probably, in fact, by the very Canadian division, integrated by Canadians), and they have their reasons... Patchou gives some good points there.
