    • Marvinacosta06 Reply

      Ang mura nyan chong para k lang bumili ng psp pero di ako naniniwala ganyan kmura yan maybe it will range to 25 to 3O thousand pesos para kang may bitbit n ipad touch or tablet!

  16. @Michael : and it shows; new console games traditionally sell for $59.99. But yeah Im hoping they will sell for $39.99. I hope they show how there selling the retail games for the PSV during the TGS. Also the systems stats like what’s the internal storage capacity.

  17. I loved my psp for movies and games, this looks to be really innovative with 6 axis and multi touch , OLED screen is a plus for darker blacks. Sony usually sells hardware at a loss and makes up the money in raising the price of games. hopefully games are not 69.00 $. not that I ever buy new releases
