PSP Core Pack For Pre-Order

Following the announcement that the PSP Core Pack (previously only available in Japan) would be coming to the US, websites such as

are already offering pre-orders for the new package.

If you missed out coverage of the Playstation Business Brief, the Core Pack comes with only the PSP, Battery, and AC Adapter for $199. Everything else, including the 32MB memory stick you'll have to buy separately.

Sony's apparently wasted no time in breaking them to market as the current release date places them on shelves within the coming week. So if you don't have one yet, now is the time to buy so you can get in on all of the great games released this month!
