Back at Leipzig when the PSP-3000 was confirmed and announced for release, we heard that it will be launching, to quote the previous post, "on October 15 in PAL territories, tagged at EUR 199 (US 292)." This bit of information, however, refers to the Silver PSP-3000 Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters Entertainment Pack.
Now, as Sony's clarified with Eurogamer, those hoping to get the PSP Slim & Brite - as it's now commonly dubbed as - will be getting it in the UK come October 17 for GBP 149.99 (US 266). This October 17 release will then be followed in November by the Piano Black PSP-3000 Everyday Shooter Entertainment Pack.
We also learn from Eurogamer that David Reeves previously confirmed that, for "a limited period of time," the PSP-2000 will be getting a pricecut as the newer PSP-3000 is introduced into the market. During that time, the Slim model will be flying off shelves as a standalone SKU for EUR 169.
