PSP2 Provisionally Priced and Dated

A screenshot is flashing around the web of the Gamestop ordering system showing the PSP2 at $299 and releasing on Jan 1, 2012. Both of those figures are just placeholder information to give people who ask in store a rough idea, they are not based on fact or official information.

The price might be about right, but Sony will look to trim every cent to make it as attractive as possible, so why not $289? As for date, are Sony really expecting to miss the Christmas season by a week - it'll either be earlier (beginning of December) or later (End of February) but not right after Christmas.

Whatever does happen, the initial orders will all sell out, so reserve yours as soon as the pre-order message pops up from your preferred store.
