Well I'm a potential PSP buyer, but I'm wondering if the PSP will have a price drop anytime soon (3-4 months)? I don't want to buy it then find out the price went down (this is usually my luck with technology). Also which one do you recommend, the core, or the silver bundle. IMO, your getting more from the silver bundle, but I want to know what you think. Are the cables for the TV connection included, or sold separately? Thanks!

The price dropped to $170 only a year ago, which cut the price by $30. It took two years for the product to drop to that new price, so I don't think the price will be dropping soon. The core costs $170. To match the value of the silver pack, one must purchase a 1GB Memory Stick ($30) and Daxter (around $10 used / $20 new), raising the price above the Silver pack (and that's not even including the Family Guy UMD, which, while I find worthless, does have value to some people). In terms of monetary value, the Silver then ends up being a better buy, but not by much. Therefore, pick the core if you like the black color, and purchase the additional items necessary for gaming, or purchase the silver version if you like the silver version, and avoid having to make additional purchases. The cables are not included. There are two different cables available: composite, and component. A component video cable on an HDTV is required for gaming and can be used for movies, while a composite cable can be used on an SDTV for movie viewing only.

The GoW bundle is as follows:
- red psp with Kratos on the back
- battery and charger
- God of War game
- Superbad UMD

I've held off buying GoW so that I can pick this up in June.

Doubt it. With Crisis Core and God of War Im sure sells are at an all time high. Expect the next price drop to be during a PSP down time. When their arent alot of awsome game being released.

what i would say personaly is that if you already have the original black version of the PSP, the hardware inside is not changing and it's just getting a little lighter..... in my opinion it's not worth paying around 200$ if you already have it.
