Be envious of Japan's new green PSP

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jan 9th 2008 at 5:00PM }

On February 28th, the Japanese PSP-2000 is set to arrive in yet another fresh new color: Mint Green. This subtle and unnervingly attractive addition to the rainbow riot going on over there will cost ¥19,800, or roughly $181. Its qualities can likely be analyzed for several more sentences, but we don't want to make it too obvious that this simple news story is in desperate need of filler text. Best we end it off quickly with another play on the "Mint Green" name.

Will this PSP color become available in America? Don't hold your breath.

ThornedVenom @ Jan 9th 2008 6:10PM

Saint Patrick can't see green?

hvnlysoldr @ Jan 9th 2008 9:09PM

St. Patty's Day is my birthday. Why oh why does everyone drink for me?

mike @ Jan 9th 2008 11:21PM

im NOT colour blind and I thought it was silver/white lol. I had to look closely to notice the green.

Morte @ Jan 9th 2008 5:06PM

Um...maybe I missed it...but why?

James @ Jan 9th 2008 5:08PM

I'll take the usual black or white PSP over this one, thx.

Fernando Rocker @ Jan 9th 2008 5:10PM

Meh...

Why don't they release strong colors... not this pastel tones?

samfish @ Jan 9th 2008 5:11PM

I like it.

Night Elve @ Jan 9th 2008 5:17PM

Meh...

Why don't you stop trolling?

Fernando Rocker @ Jan 9th 2008 5:18PM

I'm not trolling.

Mr Khan @ Jan 9th 2008 5:43PM

So we're calling people's tastes in colors trolling now, are we?

DemonGSides @ Jan 9th 2008 6:12PM

ORANGE: GREAT COLOR OR GREATEST COLOR?

DISCUSS

ark_v2 @ Jan 9th 2008 6:38PM

Because japanese seem to like pastels :S
If they released an orange one I'd sell mine without thinking it twice...

Raikage (Wii FC 5508 0487 4434 0992) @ Jan 9th 2008 7:26PM

It's alright, but I'd go with white, Vader or not:D

Psaakyrn @ Jan 9th 2008 8:21PM

I'll take orange if it comes in an orange box...

hvnlysoldr @ Jan 9th 2008 9:15PM

Orange is my favorite color. I also like eating an orange peel and all.

ib4 BELIEVE IT!

bm @ Jan 9th 2008 11:32PM

My friend has a DS in that color. It looks like... hospital... and sick.

...Jan... @ Jan 9th 2008 5:12PM

- I thought it meant green as in energy effecient or longer battery life or something. Cause, to me, this looks like cyan blue.

samfish @ Jan 9th 2008 5:14PM

No way.
The box is about 40c 10m 25y
The PSP itself is 20c 5m 10y

samfish @ Jan 9th 2008 5:12PM

I have a powerful urge to play that thing while on the can.

Night Elve @ Jan 9th 2008 5:16PM

The green ones makes me horney!

Night Elve @ Jan 9th 2008 5:22PM

horny***

ReverendGadgetBoy @ Jan 9th 2008 10:13PM

Meh...

Why don't you stop trolling?

Zertoss @ Jan 9th 2008 5:21PM

If it had some chocolate brown instead of white, it would look just like a piece of tech out of the 70's/80's. Thank God it doesn't.

Also, "envious of green?" *groan* I can't believe I laughed at that.

Jerk Face @ Jan 9th 2008 6:28PM

Even better is the "Don't hold your breath" bit.

Stellar punditry, as always Mr. Kietzmann!

Chris Wilkerson @ Jan 9th 2008 5:29PM

More like hospital green!

Sean D. @ Jan 9th 2008 6:16PM

YES! That's exactly what color that is.

Mr Khan @ Jan 9th 2008 5:44PM

PSP's sleeker look allows it to pull off the pastel colors better, this does look better than a stronger green would

But i am a fan of solid colors

NATO_Duke @ Jan 9th 2008 5:50PM

I like it. Its subtle.

The white one would be cool - without a big Vader on the back.

DemonGSides @ Jan 9th 2008 6:14PM

Heresy.

I find your lack of faith in Vader disturbing.

finnith @ Jan 9th 2008 6:25PM

Vader's cool and all...

Just not on the white PSP.

DruidBoi @ Jan 9th 2008 6:48PM

It's sad that Sony has to release a new color every month just to keep PSP sales from dropping in Japan. What color will it be next month? Piss Yellow? Cookies and Cream B&W?

LilCo187 (NDF - Hit a ho with a school bus Ring) @ Jan 9th 2008 6:51PM

lmao nice...

DomoBraden @ Jan 9th 2008 7:06PM

Ugly, I'm not envious of that, though I am envious at Japan's access to an abundance of colors that no other country will ever see on almost every console. Damn them.

I'm just waiting for a brushed stainless-steal casing. That would be the sex...on any console really. And I don't just mean silver plastic, I mean ACTUAL stainless-steal. Oh gawd...I have to go change my pants now.
