New PSP-3000 value packs coming to Japan
Further proving that digital distribution is the new name of its game ... distribution method, Sony will begin selling a new PSP-3000 bundle in Japan on December 3 which includes no extra UMDs, but rather, a 4GB memory stick. An empty 4GB memory stick, upon which video games, once purchased, can be placed.
Though it somewhat defeats the pick-up-and-play accessibility of other game-infused bundles, at a price point of 19,800 yen, it should leave enough in Japanese gamers' pocketbooks to make a few PSN purchases.

And I spent $199 +tax on that Dissidia bundle.
Oh well, I'm still the only person I've seen with a silver PSP-3000. Consistently.
PROTIP: Never buy a Memory Stick Pro Duo from the electronics dept. of Walmart (If you're buying from there). Go to the photo dept. You'll save like $20 on an 8GB stick.

I also have a silver PSP-3000, and I've never seen anyone else with it either.

PRO-PROTIP: Dont buy electronics at Walmart. You will save like $20 if you do it online.

TRI-PROTIP: If you have a friend with a Sams Club membership, you can go there and buy stuff for much less.
He got his PSP Go for $30 less than MSRP.

I want the damn green one to come overseas.
I'd buy the GO if it came in green. srsly

Would love that blue one. A blue PSPgo actually, but with it's shit pricing, I can settle for this.

They could've just dropped the price of the Go and put a 4 gig Memory Stick in it.

The Rock Band Unplugged bundle already includes a 4 gig memory stick. It´s the main reason I bought it.

My first sentence of the article would have read:
"Further proving that digital distribution has failed, Sony will begin to sell new PSP-3000 models"
