Sony Announces Pink PSP and PS2

Pink PSP


Sony have announced a new PSP to add to the current range of colors which now span White, Black and...Pink. The must-have boys' toy is to make an impact on female gamers as a fashion icon as well as a portable gaming device, MP3 and video player. The Pink PSP doesn't just come with just a new paint job, but with pop/punk star Pink's UMD video, the pink PSP system itself, carrying pouch, wrist strap and a 32MB Memory Stick Duo.

Pink PS2The Pink PSP doesn't come as an all-pink bundle though, with fashionable white iPod-style headphones and remote control not taking the fashionable effeminate color. The bad news for anybody reading this is that the Pink PSP will only be sold in Europe for the moment, retailing at €229, or £169.

The Pink PSP will go on sale on October 27th and in case you are wondering, you will not find any details of this on any Sony website at the moment. News of the pink PSP comes from an official Sony press release which since pulled from the company's website, presumably because it wasn't supposed to be released yet.

The company also plan to release a Pink version of the ageing PS2 console in Europe which comes bundled with two pink DualShock controllers and a pink Memory Card. The limited edition pink PlayStation 2 will hit shelves on November 8th this year, and if you want one, as with the Pink PSP, we advise you pre-order to avoid disappointment. And who said gaming doesn't cater for girls?

How come it being released for Europe only is bad news for anybody?



It's about time Europe gets some recognition for their part in the gaming industry, we have been neglected for years, just think about games released only 6 months after their U.S. release to be exactly the same. I don't think PAL conversion takes that long. :\

» Other colors in USA?

Why is ther no white (or any other color) PSP in the U.S? It's one of the biggest markets and we get screwed. Pink seems like a pretty poor color choice though.

i kno right, the differnt color Psp's in America would be on fiyyah



then again sony is being stupid for their largest market of psp systems.

WTH ?! Pink ?! Who the heck needs a froo froo color like that for the PSP and PS2 ? What the heck is this world coming too, when gaming industries like Sony need to make Pink colored consoles and hand helds to appeal to the female gender of the population ? Fargin Morons !



Anyways, the only ones I could see that this color would appeal to would be those fruity-patooty, poo-pushing, pickle-munching, a$$ raping butt pirates, or pre-pubescent pre-teenage girls, or those f@ggoty first post queers who always linger around the comments section waiting to post, " First Post " ! Yeah, you know who you F**kers are !



So you all want to keep the spread of Aids down ? Well, stop having anal sex then you F**kin F@ggots ! Anal is for monkeys and Queers. Who the hell wants to shag an A$$ ? A butt and a ***** are not the same thing you silly retarded Queers ! And if you f@ggots simply must go around sticking your *****s in each other's butt's then have some f**kin dignity and respect and wear a f**kin condom you dirty backwards retarded fruit loops !



Silly f@ggots Dix are for Chix !!



What do you get when you cross a gay man with a lesbian ?

You get a really confused Bi-Sexual.

You know.... they actually look really nice. Black PS2 is a mess, as was the silver, but it kind of suits that, it looks fun. PSP is quite nice too, looks nicer than the pink DS

they do look nice, probably cuz we are tired of just plain black ps2... blue ones anyone? I know I want one.

» Cool

A new color for PS2 and PSP. I think the Pink on the PSP looks bad. But the PS2 acutlly looks good. Ok colors, but the only problem with this if women are going to buy this, what kind of games are women going to buy. GTA, Socom, Wipeout? I know that the PS2 has some games that can appeal to women like SingStar, DDR, Karaoke Revoltion, etc. But for the PSP, not much to attract women. I think the only system right for women is the DS. Maybe the Wii might atract women too.

Color Ranking:



1. Black

2. nothing

3. nothing

4. Pink

5. White



recap: the black one looks really slick, the white one is extremely ugly, pink is ugly too but better than the white

by senjutsu - 2006-08-21 10:36
» QJ forgot to tell...

that black, white and pink are not the only colors, but almost the metallic edition you can buy!



anyway I won't buy one for a color! and I always prefer the original color ( that's why my GC is purple )

by Smooth - 2006-08-21 10:39
» Girly but .....

They both r cute if any1 gets 1 it will derfinetly stand out. Im get gonna get my girl a pink ds lite when it comes out. She would want the pink psp if she could play mario on it but they will all have the updated filmware.

------------------------------------



You're wrong. In so many ways. You disgust me.



My girlfriend is now looking forward to buying a pink PSP when they come out. Many other gamer girls may now begin to look seriously at buying the device. Why?

Because, believe it or not, to non-hardcore gamers, APPEARANCES MATTER!

Get your head out of your ass for once in your life and understand that just because you don't give a flying f*ck about appearances, others do.



What is with your homophobia? How the hell is it any of your business or concern who people choose to sleep with? If I want to sleep with a guy, I will, to hell with your ***** attitude. As it happens, I'm straight, but I resent the fact that you take it as some sort of violation of your rights that other people choose to not be like you.



As for the spread of AIDS, you're an ignorant moron. AIDS isn't spreading because of that, you prat, it's spreading due to stupid conservatives who say that using condoms is a sin along with other more culture-entrenched problems.



The fact that piece of human trash like you are allowed to live and breathe is something that keeps me awake at night. You vile, putrid little urchin.

Too bad they didnt put white buttons and dpad on this with white lettering. If they did I could see many people male and female buying this. Yeah males would buy it cuz I don't know if you've noticed but men are wearing pink too and no thier not gay just the new fashion. Like I said if it had came with white and not looked like they took a black one and spray painted it it would have sold alot more.

I think this is great, the more colours the better i say. Although i dunno why they didnt just adopt the idea of interchangable faceplates, then it could be anything you want. Perhaps something to do with the PSP design?

» Girl Gamers.

There aren't as many girl gamers for a very good reason.



The reason boys are into videogames is because of our primal instinct to hunt and kill. These games appeal to our spacial abilities, found in only the masculine-programmed brain.



A girl gamer will quickly tire from the novelty, as she sees that playing the game is more of a bonding between two or more people rather than playing for the hell of it.



Think about it.
