It's that time again in Japan: time for a new PSP bundle. Sony have announced the release of the new limited edition PSP bundle for that festive time of year when you watch your neighbors look ridiculous in Santa costumes, get ridiculously drunk and of course give and receive gifts. Sony's latest PSP bundle has been called the 'Bonus pack' which is due to be released on October 19, just when you start to think about your gift for that special person.

Although the package has been called the 'Bonus pack', but we're not completly sure about the bonus part. The cliche 'less is more' applies here, as you certainly get less with this than you get from the Giga pack. The Bonus pack includes a PSP console in white or black, a matching colored pouch, a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, USB cable, stand, AC adapter and battery pack. That's right, compared to the Giga pack you do miss out on the remote control, headphones and cleaning cloth but as an advantage the package should cost less when you take the losses into account.

# Seems good — Guest 2006-10-04 11:56

it may not be as good as the giga pack but atleast they are making some sort of packaged deal. We just stopped it all together. And besides, this comes with a 1gb memory stick, pretty nice if u ask me.

A Giga Pack without the headphones + remote? It better cost less... Even the original Value Pack is nowadays including the 1Gb card as a bundle.

I've ALWAYS hated earbuds anyways, and the lack of the remote isn't a big deal either 'cuz I don't use it... Sounds good to me - bring that white version here!

Why leave out the remote..? You can use whatever kind of headphones but it's not like any other remote works or fits on the system. I'd trade the remote for the worthless and abrasive pouch.

I don't know about you, but I use my cleaning cloth all the time. Stupid fingerprints. :(



I agree with #7, keep the remote.

The white PSP screen looks smaller



What's that transparent thing at the front? Is it just a logo?

# #5 - white PSP never comimg to USA.. — Guest 2006-10-04 17:01

Sony has pretty much given up, it's sad. If they had half the ingenuity of Big N, they wouldn't let the PSP just stagnate as they have. The white PSP should've come out in the USA a long time ago.

# I'd just rather have black anyway. — Guest 2006-10-04 21:40

I think the black looks sleek, and I like it a lot better anyway. but agree with the other 2 that said keep the remote in the bundle. Never know.

What are sony trying to do all there doin is giving us a giga pack down to the bear essencials i think instead of making people try to buy a psp they should make more pepherials and that could bring in more customers if they see the brilliant pepherials

# Uh no. — Guest 2006-10-05 04:07

North America is the only place that hasn't gotten the white PSP, or Tales of Eternia for example so quit complaining. I know that Europe misses out on a lot of good gaming stuff but you guys got some stuff we Americans don't have.
