Best PSP slim deals??

Im thinking about buying a PSP again as I miss my old phat version.

what's the best deal out there at the minute am I right in thinking it retails at £129.99 ?? I've seen it on gameplay for that price with rainbow 6 as a package , played rainbow6 on the 360 but not sure how good it is on the psp though.

I dont need to go mad with bundle deals etc as I only really need the console to start with as I have a few old psp games left over and umd's etc.

anyone know where the cheapest high street deal is? or online? for just the console or console plus free game?

I'm afraid that has expired! I've best I've seen is £130 with a game from various retailers.

Has anyone seen better? Is there an expected Sony price drop anytime soon?

Also when is the UK due to get more colours? I'd like a silver one.

The best deal I can find is still from John Lewis £119 for the black slim and lite delivered

Enter this promotional code PBB852MBC548 at the payment stage and get £10 off making your PSP slim £119, and as it’s over £100 so delivery is free

Re: Best PSP slim deals??

I've seen a fair few going going second hand for about £80, or £100 with a few games. You asked for high street deal...maybe try looking in gamestation, if you have one nearby?

Question SAT NAV when?

Seems like no-one is willing to discount it by any decent value, even in a bundle.

I think I will wait for a silver bundle with the Sat Nav extras.

Does anyone have any details about when those will be available in the UK?

Also do I NEED a memory card for it?

Yes, it looks like choicesUK are also doing the pink one cheaply. £85, the cheapest I've ever seen.

The one you get in pcworld you get some stuff with it


Sony Pink PSP
White headphones with remote control
Memory Stick Duo 32Mb
White Pouch
Exclusive P!NK UMD Movie
Exclusive P!NK downloads @ yourpsp.com


If my psp ever gets bust up and old looking I might buy one of these for it http://www.game.co.uk/PSP/Hardware/A...-Skin-for-PSP/

but don't know if thet are any good because my local game does not have them instore for me to look at, but if they are good you could mabey turn a pink psp into something better.

The Black and White PSP has been at a RRP of £130 for a very long time now, has anyone heard of a price cut or new colours coming anytime soon?


Regarding the Sat Nav, Argos have it listed in their catalogue already, never seems to be in stock but at £130 it seems pointless as a dedicated SatNav with a touch screen costs the same.

Found 2 great deals at simply games

£79 for a base pink version or
£89 for the white value pack, unfortunately they are both old non-slim versions.
