PSP news update (yet again)

SCEA has announced that a new "slimmer" PSP was indeed on its way to the American market. They've also announced a whopping $100 price cut on the existing 60Gb PS3. What Sony didn't announce immediately however, was the price cut concerning the 60Gb PS3 was to clear out all remaining units and that the product, in fact, will be effectively phased out just leaving the 80Gb and 30Gb PS3's out there.

On the PSP front, Sony announced that the old PSP will also be phased-out but the weird thing is, there will be no price cuts for the PSP since prices have already dropped prior to the announcement of the new PSP. They, however, will offer the older PSP version in packages that offer great value. Similar to the Daxter bundle for the PSP slim, they will offer a Daxter bundle as well for the old PSP, bundling it with the Daxter game, a 1Gb Memory Stick Duo and a video UMD as well. All this for $199.99 while the core pack will continue to sell in it's previously adjusted $169.99 price range.
