PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced

zmcnulty writes "The day has finally come: Over at TechJapan, we've got a translation of a Japanese BB Watch article stating that Sony has announced the Playstation Portable will cost 20,790 yen (about $195 USD) and is to be released on December 12th. Also, the battery life is quoted as being 4 to 6 hours. Not exactly what I'd call fantastic, but at this price, looks like Nintendo is in for some serious competition. Free your doubts about software too, as Sony has announced 21 titles will be released in December as well. Here's the official Japanese PDF press release regarding the PSP's release."

    Then don't buy it for that kid. Give him etch-a-sketch instead.

    No offence, but I hope you never have kids. Just from someone who never understood what was so great about the bloody things.

    How is this funny? Have you been to Oakley's site in the past twenty years? I carry Splices, which are awesome, but you'll note among other things the very nerd-happy Thumps they just released [w/ Lil' John's endorsement], as well as the also nerd-happy fact that Juliets were used as Cyclops' shades in the x-men movies, and Romeos were used in MI and MI:2.

    Seriously, we need a test for moderators...
