PSPgo Going Cheaper Already
Many gamers have scoffed at the PSPgo, mainly due to its hefty price tag of $249.99 which is just $50 less than a PS3 here in the states. One major online retailer is trying to make that price tag a little bit more bearable.
According to a recent listing from Amazon.com who is now selling the pint-sized PSPgo at a reduced price of $244.99. It’s only $5 off but it’s a start and it’s available with free super saver shipping.
While the PSPgo only debuted earlier this month on October 1st it’s a bit alarming to see a price drop this soon. Amazon’s price dropping practices are not uncommon for the reputable retailer, and they are a dependable source for many online shoppers to find a great deal as they often sell many products below the MSRP.
Whether this price drop was a reaction to other online retailers similarly reducing the PSPgo’s price or a proactive step by Amazon to entice would-be buyers is not entirely known at this point. While a $5 decrease probably isn’t enough to swoon many gamers who remain on the fence about the PSPgo, this price cut may not be substantial enough to get them to buy. However it does offer a slight reprieve from what many have considered a lofty price tag for a system that debuted only $50 less than what a fully functioning PS3 is selling for.

Let me get this straight…5 WHOLE dollars? Shit that’s way more than 2.25 even!…this is a good deal!
$249.99 at amazon.ca still
5$ off and 5-9 business days after super savor shipping is a worthless bonus. If you get it in 5 days thats 1$ a day.. $4.99 3-5 days and 1$ for the item thats 6$ for standard ground 3-5 day delivery. standard ground is better because the offer fucking sucks almost every item sent on ground from Amazon arrives in 3 days. i expected a better bargain at least 10$, 5 $ is almost joke. lol

Exactly, if you’re not going to spend 250, you would be waiting for 225 or so at least.
Do I spend the extra 5 and get it today or save 5 and wait a week for it hmmm…….
@DGR8Mc187
this is pretty basic math, should be simple to understand…but, ill let you figure it out on your own. if you READ correctly, you wont get the item today for 6$ but in 3 days max 5 compared to theres 5-9 day wait for a shitty ass 5$ deal. Every ground shipment sent from Amazon arrives in 3 days unless you order on Sat/Sunday. Thats no deal breaker… this offer doesnt even apply to you since you purchased the GO (based on your old comment)
$5 is a lot of money
Amazon is also offering $1.00 off of Borderlands, you have to put it in your cart to see the deal.
I think the guy who sets the discounts fell into a time machine or a stargate
Still gonna wait out till it $199.99 or you get a $50 gift card or something. That $250 is a killer.
I would want one but the price is just simply rediculous for me.

Not surprised, Amazon always drops 5 bucks on games, the trend for a system follows suit.
