=====================

Dear *hey69*

Please ignore this email if you decide to wait for the PSP price to
drop down, or reply immediately if you want us to process your order still
before Christmas.

The first deliveries of Sony PSP Value Packs are now getting in and
will soon be ready to ship. Because of the shortage and other
circumstances described in our recent PSP updates and emails, the price is
unfortunately hiked and will stay like this until early next year. At this
point of time you have three options:


Option #1: Get your PSP shipped as soon as possible
---------------------------------------------------

- Only "Value Packs" for $529 (EUR 398/GBP 275) can be shipped
currently
- Only Ridge Racers or Vampire Chronicle can be shipped ($59.90)
- Please confirm which game you want us to ship, or if you want both of
them
- Other games will soon be ready seperately (Free Shipping Worldwide)
- Due to the shortage, the PSP price will NOT drop before next year
- Only insured UPS shipping is available ($30-$40 depending on
location)
- Credit Card or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) to HK only (payment in US$)
- Other items in your order will be separated & process within 5 to 14
days

Please reply to this email and tell us that you want us to ship your
system. We will set everything up for you and keep you informed about the
status.

Please keep your confirmation email as short as possible and confirm
without asking questions that are already answered in this email or in
the PSP Update on our web site. This helps Lik Sang a great deal in
providing fast servicing of answers and rush processing or the orders.

Important: There are tight deadlines and only the fastest ones can make
it to the first shipments.

Sony PSP Value Pack Content:

- PSP Hardware (PSP-1000K Value Pack)
- PSP Memory Stick Duo 32MB
- PSP Headphones With Remote Control
- PSP Soft Case & Hand Strap
- PSP AC Adapter (100V-240V, 50/60Hz, works worldwide)
- PSP Battery Pack
- Free Travel Plug (to fit in your country)


Option #2: Keep your position & wait for the price to normalize
---------------------------------------------------------------

- Due to the shortage, the price will NOT drop before next year
- There is no guarantee when Sony will make more units available
- If you decide to wait, you will not loose your position
- Other payment and shipping options will be available next year

If you choose to wait for cheaper stock to arrive, there is no need to
reply to the email, as ignoring the first launch offer still lets you
keep your spot in the reservation list. If you decide to ask questions,
we will reply to them once the initial mass shipment has left our
warehouse and all first-release orders have been dealt with.

Please understand that this is the only way to get thousands of PSP
systems shipped in time.


Option #3: Cancel your order
----------------------------

- Even you cannot accept Option #1, it is not recommended to cancel
- The market will clear early next year, no new orders until then
- You can secure your pre-order position and continue monitoring
- Cancellations can be done automatically in your My Account
- We will never ever ship your order without your permission


Payment Options:

In Austria that's usually 20%. Don't know if that helps...

Quite possible, depending where your location is. If you're on a tight budget, then just wait.

The Platinum Special Edition is gonna cost, in l-b currency
A quick warmup massage, a 15 min blowjob and a 15 min as*fu*k
Or alternatively 1xgolden shower.

See, that's A LOT. Remember that the DP (Danny Pound*ing*) floats in between 800 and 900 US dollars.

(TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE MONTHLY *TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS DAY* HUH...)

My advice is to go out and buy a gameboy ds . Have fun with it , its 150$ . Then when the psp hits your shores buy it for the what was it 200$ it should launch at ? That is still only 350$ , you get two systems for less than what the psp would have cost alone .

The sytem price seems to be fair. However I doubt they are gonna make it back in software sales considering they want 50 bucks per title.

need to find other ways to find it cheaply :(
