What's up with these PSP shortages?
 

Yeah, I'm looking everywhere on the web for a value pack and they're sold out pretty much everywhere. Some websites claim to be selling, then there's a little dissclaimer on the bottom saying something like "We will send it to you as soon as we recieve it, which could be up to 8 weeks" or some shit like that. Sony should sort their shit out, I was going to buy one today with my birthday money. And those Giga packs are ridiculously expensive.

No shortages here.

Do you have candy canes and fairies asswell where you live?

My store (i manage an EB) has like 30 value packs and 15 gigapacks. No shortage in the district.

Just in the UK then I think.

No im afraid we don't have those where I live.

Yeah I was thinking of getting one for someone for Christmas but I looked on Play and they were sold out so I'm accepting defeat and might just buy them a PS2 instead. I tried.

Yeah, they're all over the place here.

Yeah think it's a UK thing, my local Game had a sign about them having shortages. Though I don't want one of the pieces of shit.

same lol i was playing on liberty city stories on my friend in schools psp...
i was hoping to go fly on a roof and jump off it for a laugh... dunno why just felt like it.
i asked my friend where the planes were he said there is no planes!
the only way to get 1 is to highjack 1...
thats balls!

Supply and demand.

I'm planning on getting one, looks like it will have to be the giga pack one.

I already have.

I'm just gonna get a DS now. Much cheaper, and suit my needs more i.e. to play games.

The PSP plays games too. It's not like they cut down the gameplay to fit all that other stuff in, it's the gameplay AND the other stuff. People always think that in order to put all of that into one handheld that something is going to have to be taken away.

Like battery life.

Also, I'm going to build my house entirely out of PSPs and then buy a DS to actually play.
