I'd rather see a drop in the price of the Value Pack, because finding those PSP headphones (with the in-line remote) is relatively difficult and they don't come with the base pack.
DS came down in price then back up again when DSL came out. PSP has dropped, what, $50 since September 2005 for the value pack? 360 hasn't had an official drop all year (bundles being the go for all).

Nintendo I can understand, but with somewhat lacklustre sales and a chance to hit Sony where it hurts, Microsoft is in the prime position to cut prices, thank you Mr Smarty Pants.
I'm not certain but I think the value pack comes with a significantly larger memory stick now. Could be wrong though.
I can't see the DS price changing any time soon. I think I'll grab one whenever it does happen though, much as I love the original bulky one I've got now.

You'd think so but I know people who have no interest in the 360 despite the price. They want a PS3. I really hope that Sony can get the price to $699 by November.
Dusted off the old psp and upgraded it to the latest 3.40 oe. The latest CPS2/neogeo emulator is amazing, the virtual memory stuff isn't a slide show anymore and it's close to full speed 60fps 95% of the time. So you can enjoy all those large rom classics.
Not just for godly emulation, but the difference it makes in retail games is astounding (I think it makes the GTA games superior to their PS2 counterparts).
