    That's around £72.

    I reckon the price will drop to £80, easily. I mean, I've already seen it bundled with Rayman for around £100.

    And at £80 they can claim that it's exactly £100 cheaper than the competition.

    Let's wait and see, shall we? ;)

    They're bound to drop it a little seeing as they dont actaully have any great games lined up to combat the PSP launch. (apart from maybe Famicom Wars DS, not sure how the dates match up tho)

    IIRC there are a few good titles to watch for coming in September...

    Dual Strike and Castlevania for starters?

    Or they could drop it to £90 and claim its half the price...

    I would expect a £90 price to be more realistic than £80. It just seems.. I don't know.. cheaper. Saying something is half the price of another item is much more bold than saying it's £100 cheaper.

    Also, the GBM is coming out soon, and if they choose a £60 or so price tag, and knock the SP down to around £50, I think it looks better than £80, £60 and £50 prices. It just feels different.

    Yes it's crazy, the DS is retailing for £99, Gamestation were giving away a free copy of Zoo Keeper with each console. The DS plays GBA games, so why pay £69.99 for a GBA SP?
