When Sony hacked $50 from the PSP Go’s price earlier this week, it didn’t exactly trumpet the news, and now it’s looking like a permanent $150 MSRP for the UMD-less handheld was too good to be true. Text across Sony’s website has silently been changed to reflect a $199.99 price point for both colors of the sliding-screen system, and there seems to be no remaining evidence that Sony ever dropped the price at all. Still, we imagine it’s only a matter of time before such a price cut becomes officially official, as the PSP-3000′s the no-brainer choice if you’re buying a PSP right now — it’s a full $70 cheaper than the less-capable Go.
