Its a nice little handheld version of the ground braking PlayStation 2. Sony Computer Entertainment America announced that PSP will see the day of light in North America on March 24 for suggested retail prices of $249 USD and $299.99 CND respectively.

On top of everything else, the first one million people to purchase a PSP in the US will receive a bonus UMD featuring the full feature film Spider-Man 2.
