Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has announced that it will continue to flood the Japanese market with different colored PlayStation Portable systems in 2009. Yay!
SCEJhas announcedthat it will be introducing a new “Carnival Colors” PSP-3000 line throughout March in Japan. On March 5, “Vibrant Blue” and “Radiant Red” will be available; March 19 will see the release of “Bright Yellow” and “Spirited Green.” The units will retail for 19,800 yen. “Value Packs” — including a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, a matching pouch (also sold separately), and wrist strap — will also be available for 24,800 yen.
So … more colors. Honestly, while the colors are pretty to look at, the system itself has the same functionality as a traditional PSP-3000. I’m not the kind of guy who needs his PSP to match his shoes, so I wouldn’t trade up my “old and boring” PSP for a fancier color. Destructoid’sDale North, on the other hand, will probably buy all four.
What do you guys think of the new colors?
