Comments on: Get a Sony PSP 2000 for $109.99 shipped

The PlayStation Portable delivers a ton of fun on the run, but it's rare to find one selling below $150. Dell gets you out the door for $110, but the deal is TODAY ONLY.

You can order the Dell deals until tomorrow morning at 5:59 AM.

holy crap this is a truly great deal. i've already got the psp 3000, but if not i would've hopped ALL over this one.

Bah! I bought it only weeks ago from Dell for $119.99! My inner Cheapskate was too eager!

FYI to all you "homebrew" fans, the PSP-2001 that was shipped to me has the infamous v3 motherboard that makes your job a lot harder.

Check again on google. I have friends that have the slim 2000 with firmware 4.01 and ta-88v3 motherboard. They got it working all through software and it was epic easy.

FYI to everyone else. Sony does not plan on ever release backward compatibility on PS3. I think Sony wants everyone to re-purchase their PS1 titles on PSN and later PS2 on the newer PSN or on the PS4. Its a joke to re-purchase those games only cause they added a new class or added CGI to the main game. The PS3 is only a fancy blu-ray player and console. I boycott sony because they took out a 20 dollar chip which is maybe cheaper now. Because they did away with backward compatibility.

Rick, where was the heads up on this series of deals 10 days ago? I would've loved to score the $150 23" widescreen monitor.

I'm calling shenanigans... Dell is selling it at full price.

[rickbroida]

These deals come and go--nothing I can do about that. Right now it looks like they're out of stock altogether. But rest assured it was in stock and $109.99 when I posted it this morning.

Just want to add a comment here.

If you have a PS3 what's really bad ass is that you can buy movies for like 10-15 dollars (depending on how new it is etc rendering the UMD movies useless) on the Playstation Video store and watch it on both your t.v. AND your PS3. You can STILL do this on the PSP via the Playstation Video Store direct on the PSP or you can do it through a PC using the Media Go software, but... the PS3->PSP Video store because you CAN back up the Video (or t..v. show) on ANY USB hard drive so that you can even build up a huge repetoire of digital movies you can watch on the PSP GO. Of course you could also wait for the PSP GO or buy a 16GB memory card for this 1.

Just remember the PSP GO will have NO UMD drive but will include a blu-tooth as well as a built in microphone for skyp (what this PSP lacks) Sony is working on a possible trade in system for the PSP but dang it just buy Patapon 2 off of the PSN. Seriously get this and buy Patapon 2. So much fun. Very bad game for traveling though because it requires a LOT of concentration and is REALLY complex (just doesn't seem like it)

PSP GO will be released in the fall, and will retail for about 250 (about the same price as a PSP and an 80GB card's regular price) and the PSP GO will be using a different memory card unit (M2) and have no compatible accessories. So keep that in mind.

Finally remember that there IS a chance you can get the PSP Go for 100 dollars because Sonystyle.com DOES offer 150 dollar credit on any credit card that you are approved of on a product that is 200 dollars or more. My recommendation? By the PSP Go! and spend 150 dollars with your new credit card on the PSN store exclusively. This is great for those that get a bit paranoid about using credit card information. The best part about it is that you can just put the credit card in a lock up box and never worry about it being stolen or even shred it or what ever.

Sorry for the long comment but I'm a wiz at electronics and I don't really like the iphone (want google phone) and the PSP Go is getting an app store as well.

So all in all here is the relevant and necessary information you need to now make an informed choice. Hope this helps.

You can still use Skype with the older PSP. You just need to get the headset with the microphone on it.

Also, I needed memory for my PSP Slim & Lite and used the 8GB M2 with a Memory Stick Pro Duo adapter because it was cheaper than an 8GB Pro Duo by itself. I think Sony is forcing the M2 on PSP Go! users because there is already an adapter that can combine 2 SD Micro cards into one super Memory Stick Pro Duo card.

i dont believe this is a good deal.

especially when you can spend 90 bucks more and get an iphone 3gs (i hate apple - so please dont call me an iphone lover).

[FoolishAndy]

Yeah, but last I checked the PSP doesn't cost me $70/month and force me into a contract.

[jrshorti]

y is this article now the 1st link on cnet.com when all the PSP's are sold out?

[rickbroida]

Sorry about that. I don't control what links get put on the front page or when, but I did tell the Powers That Be to take it down, as this deal is now over.

[jrshorti]

Didnt mean to be a pester, im sure user feedback is always welcome tho :-)
