PSP Starting Price Depends upon TGS

[Gryph]

Here is a somewhat interesting article about the price of the PSP. Sony will choose it's price depending on the reaction it gets from the people at the Tokyo Game Show. Now everyone should hate it so they bring the price down. But it has to be priced competitevly with the Nintendo DS or it will never sell, or it won't sell as well.
