Sony shows new pink PSP and PS2

Sony today gave a whole new meaning to the words “pretty in pink” by announcing a limited edition pink PSP value pack that will launch in Europe on October 27th, to be followed by a pink PS2 bundle on November 1st.

The PSP bundle, which will retail for £169 (€229), will come complete with headphones, a pouch, wrist strap and 32MB Memory Stick Duo. It will also include a UMD featuring videos, live performances and interviews with pop star Pink after Sony signed a new deal with the singer. SCEE’s Stephane Hareau said the launch is about “much more than just launching a new colour”, adding: “The association with Pink will enable PSP to push new boundaries.” A very pink one

The new pink PS2 will ship complete with two pink DualShock Analog controllers and a pink 8MB memory card. In the UK, the bundle will be available with karaoke party game, SingStar Pop, for a recommended retail price of £129.99 (€159.99 in the rest of Europe without the game). Sony lowered the other colored PS2’s prices to £94.99 (€129.99).

“PlayStation 2 is the accessible, affordable way to enjoy new social, communal and interactive entertainment experiences through software titles like SingStar, Buzz and EyeToy,” said Dan Hill, PlayStation 2 European Brand Manager.

“The Pink PlayStation 2 is funky, fresh, and fashionable, and will further broaden the console’s continuing popularity and relevance with a fun new twist.”

I still love my cool silver PStwo, but I had no idea PINK was so fashionably hypnotic, must… look… away.

hey, ive heard ( from my sources ) that this psp will be downgrade able by one touch. you will be able to up grade or down grade as you wish, without using a computer. if theres anytruth to this, i would have to applaud sony. the psp is only at its true potential when its “hackable,” or downgraded. The features and programs you can run on the psp is insane and sony is stupid to try to get people to upgrade. Sony, if you had common sense you would let everyone downgrade and give them the downgraders, you would sell way more psp systems, i assure you!
