I assume you are Canadian, since its launch price was US$249 and Canadian $ 299. In any event, I bought mine at launch and don't regret it a bit.

I also did, along with the Ds, and I ended up selling both and buying a ds lite, now when the new FF7 is launched I'll probably get the psp again heh.

plus, customs decided to hold it ransom for £50.

Never mind, I guess I paid $250 then. For some reason I thought it was $300 at launch.

I live in europe and I bought one at launch so I paid ~370 US dollars for it (back when the dollar was worth more, now it would be more like 400) and I don't regret it, it's a great system especially with custom firmware.

I bought mine at launch (but I'm NO idiot). The price was worth it considering that the PSP is a great handheld with lots of features. 8)

Bought it at launch. I remember having a open period at school, so I went and then came back when school let out to show off to all my friends. I still have it, though its mostly for homebrew. I have a slim for my games and multimedia.

When I got mine, 5 months after launch, It was $299 canadian, with 15% tax, making it almost $350. It ended up being about $2 more than what I paid for my PS2, because my PS2 was boutgh at walmart for like $298 and tax.

I did pay about $400 for mine because it was $299 for the value pack and plus I got Liberty City Stories at the same time so it was just about $400.

I took it a step further and paid that much to get it before it came out (shipped from Japan). Had buyers remorse though and sold it not too much later. I think I actually made a little bit of a profit.

I just got mine (Piano Black Slim) last month for $170, but two of my friends got them at launch and both sold them within 2 months. I got the benefit of a $80 price drop, a redesign, and a bunch of great games for $15-$20 to choose from.
