PSP Camera and GPS Add-On Pricing, Approximate Release Date and Photos Released
Josh emailed me today about
Sony's Japanese pricing for the upcoming PSP GPS and PSP Camera add-ons coming in the Novemberish Decemberish timeframe, quite a bit later it seems than the September originally announced by Sony. The Camera looks to go for about 5,000 Yen (about $43 U.S.) and the GPS looks to be running about 6,000 Yen (about $52 U.S.). It looks like games may take advantage of these new accessories, including Metal Gear Solid.
I may be going to Japan in October, so if they're not out in the U.S. by then, I'll just buy a few out there if possible and post images!
