This is the information we have all been waiting for until now,
Sony have announced that the PSP will hit the Japanese streets on December 16th at a price of $186 which is just a mere 36 dollar difference when compared to Nintendo's DS which is priced at $150. With Critics claiming the price would be $300-500 dollars for several months now were so wrong as we first said in response to these claims. Sony are known for pricing their products well as seen with the Playstation 2 and now with the PSP aswell. Sony's revealed price may not be the same as the DS, Though it is very competitive connsidering the differences in specs of both consoles. Nintendo have yet to show their response to Sony's latest ground shaking announcment.

Other information has been given regarding a Value pack which is an extra $47(£25).

Other news regarding the Battery life of the PSP has been announced today aswell. Sony Computer Entertainment announced the battery life of the PSP which is to be 4-6 hours for gameplay and 4-5 hours for movie play on average. Thats about three 90minute films and an episode of Simpsons. Extra Battery packs can be bought for the PSP priced at 4,800YEN which is $45 (£24) Not that you would really need them unless your going on a long plane trip or something in which you would have to pre-charge the extra one. I can see myself doing so with the amount I have saved, But its not highly needed.
