I was at Pallika bazaar yesterday and just happened to enquire about the price of Playstation Portable. adn the price has dropped to Rs. 16,500 which also includes a game of ones choice (out of the 9 available). THe unit is the Japanese Value pack. With Case, remote and a 32 meg memory card. the dealer is tossing in a game at the price... Among the games that were available were Ridge Racer and Spiderman.
