The peripheral is coming September 20th for ¥6980 (about $57). Those interested in picking it up will have to buy a redesigned PSP on the same day. Let's hope that this isn't a new trend of future PSP products becoming incompatible with the original model.

You're right Andrew! I hope they still make stuff for my original PSP. I have been waiting for the camera for 1 1/2 years for it's US release. If it's released for the PSP slim I will be very dissapointed. If it does, looks like I'll have to Import.

I remember the Sega Game Gear had one of these though it was a bit more pricey than $57.
I'd live to pick up a PSP but even the guys at Game Stop told me they never touch theirs. Lets build up a more substantial library and I'm on board. I dont want it to be a smaller version of the PS3 I never touch.

too bad 1seq only works in japan so this thing is essentially worthless in the us.

"I'd live to pick up a PSP but even the guys at Game Stop told me they never touch theirs."
Don't pay any attention to the drones - nobody at Gamestop likes the PSP (or Sony). I've talked to three of my friends who, like me, have heard Gamestop and EB Games employees bash Sony products and actively advise against buying a PS3 or PSP. Like, to the point where they almost froth at the mouth. I've gotten into arguments with my local EB dweebs over whether the PSP has 'any good games'. They even ask me why I bother when I buy PSP games there. It's very agenda-like.
That, coupled with some stupid past advertising (like the one where the PSP was lumped in with the GBA as being a system of the past), makes me think Gamestop/EB has some pro-Nintendo or MS viral/FUD subsidizing going on.

Yeah that happened to me before when I was buying a PSP game. Then I told them I didn't like a lot of DS games cuz mini-games can only go so far. Then they brought up "well you should buy good games," .... so I brought out my DS (I always bring my PSP 'and' DS everywhere with me) and show them my R4DS then asked them which one b/c I have all of them in two Micro 2gb SD. And I mean ALL of the DS' games and they shut up.
Then I told them they don't know shit about games, they're getting paid min. wage to SELL them not make them. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA stupid Dweebs those ppl are endangering the Earth's future by decreasing the birth rate. They probably masterbate to boys in zelda costumes

They went quiet because of the fact that you whipped out a goddamn R4 pirate fag.

@ONi
Maybe because it will force more people to buy the new PSP?
