Fry’s becomes first U.S. retailer to cut price of PSP Go

Remember how a bunch of British retailers cut the price of a PSP Go, just one week after the Sony handheld launched? Well, at least one North American retailer is repeating the trick, knocking a juicy $50 off the price.

This, however, is not a permanent move (as it is in the UK). Rather, retail outlet Fry’s will be offering the PSP Go for $199 for a limited period (an in-store only offer, I’m afraid).

Temporary offer or not, this is hardly great news for Sony. Most consoles that are new to market suffer short-term shortages due to rampant demand, but stores seem to be struggling to rid themselves of the PSP Go.

Or, to put it another way, what was the last games machine to see its price slashed in the same month it was launched? I honestly can’t remember.
