Do we have a European release date for the PlayStation Portable? Sony already admitted they were going to miss their target of launching the new console in Europe by the end of March, and while they haven’t said anything official yet, Amazon.co.uk is listing the PSP as coming out on April 29th with a retail price of £179.99 (there’s a disclaimer that this date is subject to change). That works out to about $335 dollars, or $85 more than they’re going to be charging for the PSP Value Pack here in the States.

This is the latest from Engadget. www.engadget.com

$85 dollars more than the US version!!

There is nothing new about this. We have always paid more than the US for virtually everything. There are even products made in this country that cost less to buy in the US.

hehehe like gasoline

Well, gasoline (or petrol as it should be called) is something else entirely. The reason it's so cheap in the US is their blatant disregard for the environment and the mindset of 'bigger is better' - including car engines.

Usually comes down to standards of living, average wage, etc
