iPodlounge Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Horwitz has posted an interesting column on Sony's handling of the North American PSP launch.

"Yes, we praised Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) after its Japanese release late last year, noting that it was a great value at its base Japanese $199 price," writes Horwitz. He continues, "Now Sony, in one of those moves that can only be understood in the context of the company's cockiness, has managed to do what we basically considered impossible: it's offering the PSP in North America at a higher price."
