p2pnet.net News:- Sony’s PSP isn’t even on sale in the US, yet. But rich gamesters are paying more than three times what’s expected to be the retail price in America to get their hands on one.

Japanese aficianados are reportedly spending around $280 per unit and when the PSPs eventually arrive in the US, they’ll probably go for around $200.

But in the meanwhile, people are coughing up as much as $627 on eBay for game packs – that’s the player, Ridge Racer and the bits and pieces.

“I am a uk seller and have 10 newly released sony psps imported from japan ready to send to you,” says one entrepreneur. “These will be sent from the uk so no waits, large postage costs, or import tax to pay at all” who sold a unit for £335.

“Fixed shipping cost (GBP5.00) from Hong Kong to U.S.A., United Kingdom, Germany and France, using registered airmail shipping which takes 7-10 days to your country,” says another.

The PSPs will probably be available in the US in March, but in the meanwhile if you have money to burn …

Its attractions as a portable game-playing system are obvious, but it has even more than that to offer. It’s also a multi-media device able to play music and movies AND it’s Wi-Fi compliant AND it has a USB 2.0 port.

iPod, anyone?
