Cool colors but...

...what is that new tab on the right side of the internet tab?

# um — nyr2k2 2009-01-08 03:37

You mean the PSN tab that's been there since FW 5.0?

# The red one... — WiiRolled 2009-01-08 03:46

Uglyness

I like the blue one though

# Ahh — Hanskanen 2009-01-08 03:53

Oh ok, sorry... :) I'm still on 4.01 M33-2... ;)

# right — RocSqualie 2009-01-08 04:21

Let's just keep putting out more colors of the hardware and not think about supporting them with games and features...

# haha — nyr2k2 2009-01-08 04:33

Gotcha, no worries.

# IMO — nyr2k2 2009-01-08 04:35

The PSP looks best with a custom color BUT the original buttons. I have a chrome red faceplate currently, with the original buttons rather than the red ones. It looks pretty sweet.

probably just a way of Sony doing the next attempt of better security, because they know the 3000 will be hacked. I bet anything there's a different motherboard in those. >(

# Sony does not care about features. — FreePlay 2009-01-08 11:50

They want to push product, not satisfy the customer.

# Like the vibrant blue — JSoldier 2009-01-08 12:21

I hope the colors go to the U.S. because i would like to have a collection of blue psps. I Hope theres gonna be another metallic blue psp because i love blue.

They should add in some custom buttons.... but that's going unofficial there.

# yeah man — ps3rocks360sucks 2009-01-08 19:06

red is freekin ugly

# hey... — HIMFan 2009-01-09 03:26

...I like the red...When the Phat PSP's were out, I always wanted one of their reds, but I would've had to import...and then they were out of stock. And then the slims came out and again, for just a solid red PSP, I would've had to import...and now again, they're also out of stock. So needless to say, I've had to settle for the Kratos PSP, but don't get me wrong, I like GOW, but that means now, if I want an all red PSP I gotta find a normal red battery back. I might consider buying the red one after they've completely figured out the 3000s.
