    Was looking forward to one for Christmas, the move doesn't make masses of sense either. PSP is still going strong in Japan with a big list of games still to come, but the PSP won't make a dent in most westerner's shopping lists and there are next to no games coming.

    Release in the west to counter the 3DS and then in Japan when the PSP tails off would be more logical, but hey home turf and all!

    Nearly Nokia

    Pre-announcing a product by more than a year? It's a wonder they'd sell any PSPs at all between now and whenever.

    We've been here before...

    I, along with thousands others got them imported, this is going to happen again I suspect.

    Sherlock because we should have known Sony would screw us as usual
