If this all seems a little late, bear in mind that – PS3 backwards-compatibility fracas aside – Sony have always shown strong commitment to a back-catalog soon to include the PSP range.

This could be the year, after all, that PSP does not Go gentle into that good night (relax, that was the last one).

Does this price-drop inspire you to take another look at the PSP Go? Got any more strained Go puns to inflict upon us all? Let us know.
