Yep me too

Code:

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

If anyone around here is interested, that was most of the email

$529 is crazy for a $250 pack, especially with all the PSP problems out there (flying disks anyone??)

 

i got the same mail, and replyed... but have not heard anything... has anyone else?

£338.90, not too bad you may think...

At the bottom of the auction:

My arse... poor suckers! read before you bid! :angry

 

i can bet good money that the winner wont pay..... if he did, he would be an idiot..... positive feedback isnt worth £338

 

Flying Discs??

That sounds interesting.

What exactly happened?

 

Calm down buddy. You actually think LikSang paid MSRP for these, let alone bulk prices??? Hell no.


They paid scalper prices from scalpers in Japan and are passing on the cost with minimal profit, They're only doing this to offer it to the hardcore rich early adaopters for whom price is not a barrier. They're hardly doing it to screw Johnny Gamer over.

And for the record, who else in the entire world is offering a lower price? The guys on eBay? Hell no. No one is. It's the PS2 all over again and it's not SONY or import shops' fault.

 

how do you know they paid scalper prices though....

 

yep same here... :smt022
no way I'm going to pay that kind of money for portable system...

I'll be waiting for a year or two before picking it up...

 

Wait until early 2005, March 2005 at the latest, and we wil all be paying MSRP of about $185. No need to wait two years.
