Ó

Hitting stores this February 22nd - well, in Japan, at least - is the new Gold PSP. Oh wait, it isn't just any kind of Gold, but Champagne Gold. Selling for ¥ 20,790, a quick conversion would have this baby clocked at around US$ 170. With the rolling out of this new PSP, the line up of the Sony handheld is now up to a total of six colors to choose from: Black, Ceramic White, Pink, Metallic Blue, Silver, and Gol - err, excuse me - Champagne Gold.

There's also mention that with the release of Capcom's latest game (also on February 22), there's going to be a Monster Hunter Portable 2nd bundle pack for ¥ 27,300 (roughly US$ 230) that'll include the Champagne Gold PSP, two sticker skins, a strap, pouch, and some cleaners.

As for the firmware version that it will be released in... We'll keep you guys posted. For now, drown yourselves with the Champagne.

I might actually buy a second PSP now just because that color is godly looking and it is only 170 bucks shoot that is damn cheap and i bet it doesn't attract as many finger prints as my current black one does.

[w/ Homer's voice] Mmmmm... champagne...

Too bad they're always "Limited Edition" and none of them are ever available at the shops nearby, just the plain black :(

 » no justice

I'm guessing the photo isnt doing the color justice because its the same named color as sony's champagne aibo that I have which is very handsome color.....for a robot dog....which is also the last new color for the aibo before sony put the kabash on the whole AI robotics department...is this the same death sign for the psp?!?!?!?

Well I have been in so many stores in Los Angeles and I have seen the following colors:
Black, black, black and black.
Oh and black.
When are we (U.S.A) going to get a different color other than black Sony Suck Big Shiny Balls.
