The rash of recent Earthquakes aside, I would love to live in Japan. The Sony Playstation Portable, or PSP, went on sale early Sunday morning in Japan for a slightly discounted price of 19,800 yen ($198). Here's a snippet from the article:

"TOKYO (Reuters) - Game fans stood in lines through a chilly Tokyo night to be among the first in the world to get their hands on Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Portable, the consumer electronics firm's first handheld game machine.

About 200,000 of the sleek black devices, able to play movies, music and games, went on sale early Sunday morning as part of a drive by Sony to loosen rival Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s iron grip on the market for handheld game machines."


The picture below is a concept picture, but it looks pretty similar. Check out IGN's article, where they acquired a few of these bad boys.
