God of War PSP bundle with 'Deep Red' unit in June
Click for high-resolution image
Original: Sony is planning to release a new PSP bundle this summer, which includes the upcoming PSP-exclusive God of War: Chains of Olympus, according to an announcement made at retailer conference Destination PlayStation today. The package will include the game, a UMD version of Superbad, a certificate for a PSN download, and a brand new red PSP system. This would be Sony's third PSP bundle in the US, following the Daxter and Star Wars Battlefront sets. Just as the Star Wars PSP features a Vader rendering on its backside, the red PSP will sport Kratos, no doubt mean muggin. The bundle is expected to retail for $199 and should be available in June.

I miss the clear and/or opaque system and handhelds shells...
It reminded me of my anatomy courses.

Only the Gameboy is springing to mind there. Were there others?
FOXHOUND @ Feb 26th 2008 2:50PM
Officially speaking... Nintendo also had the "atomic purple" N64, Microsoft had the green opaque Xbox; but there were numerous PSone/PS2 aftermarket cases.
I was kinda hoping I could find something similar, perhaps even on DecalGirl, but no dice. :(

any info on whether this is coming to europe?

I must be using the colour profile that makes the PSP ugly, now how to change it.

Is it just me or does that red look a bit pinkish? I want the slimmed down PSP but I think I will wait till maybe another price drop. My fattie will have to do for now.
samfish @ Feb 26th 2008 2:13PM
It's not pinkish, but it does have a lipstick red quality to it.
Marty @ Feb 26th 2008 2:13PM
Looks like a "ruby" red to me.
Or maybe the goat blood they used to paint it is just still a little wet. XD
YpoCaramel @ Feb 26th 2008 2:48PM
I have the red PSP in the picture. The pictures show it as more lipstick and metallic than it actually is.
FOXHOUND @ Feb 26th 2008 3:08PM
Much like a woman... now that I've seen the backside, I like it that much more. ;)
Martez @ Feb 26th 2008 2:15PM
Now in "Whore Red"
samfish @ Feb 26th 2008 2:16PM
'eh...having a character's face on it is too dorky, if you ask me. Having a paw print or a tri-force, like on the DS, is one thing since they're kind of generic.
...but having Kratos or Darth Vader's face just sorta screams, "I HATE HAVING SEX!"
FidliousWong @ Feb 26th 2008 2:24PM
I think buying a console based purely on the console screams that....
*quickly hides his Black DS Lite and Gloss White imported PSP*
kyle @ May 24th 2008 2:43PM
hahahahahahahahahahhahaha true true .. but i love this system it looks really cool i might get it
Hiroki @ Feb 26th 2008 2:19PM
Eh, it should be more of a crimson shade of red if they're going to bundle it with God of War.
Gerwurztraminer @ Feb 26th 2008 2:20PM
More Red
Less Kratos

sexy.
i still think ill get a black one though when i upgrade to the Slim. it just matches my PS3 better. i already have a white Wii and DS Lite, the same treatment for my Playstation stuff is only fitting lol.
ThornedVenom (Patapornographer) @ Feb 26th 2008 2:33PM
They're just including Superbad FO SHO.
FOXHOUND @ Feb 26th 2008 2:51PM
MCLOVIN IS AN ORGAN DONOR.
Yes, read into that one heavily, ladies.
Mullinsmcd @ Feb 26th 2008 2:44PM
Wow thats a hell of a deal! I got the Daxter pack in november for the same price. The only notable difference is the lack of a memory card, but 1 gb is hardly enough space anyways. This plus a 4/8/16 gb card from newegg FTW.
deaftly @ Feb 26th 2008 3:03PM
Damn for $200 that is a hell of a deal. I like that color/design but I can't part with my fattie with m33. No need for 2 PSP's.
pyro.danny @ Feb 26th 2008 4:13PM
I was actually considering it until I saw the face.
Please, don't consider the face.
Kalil @ Feb 26th 2008 4:25PM
THA HOTTTTTTTTTTTT
dam why did i get the black slim for
i think the should release back cover wit design on it like gow, final fanstay,gta, rachet and clank etc
ApolloIV @ Feb 26th 2008 4:47PM
Ohh i like that...and I've yet to buy a PSP. Man that's great, it looks like I'm going to blow some money on the Sony platform this holiday season.
The Aggie CEO @ Feb 26th 2008 4:48PM
damn I JUST bought this plain black one........
Guess I'm taking it back now..........
NukeAssault @ Feb 26th 2008 4:57PM
Damn i basically just bought a daxter psp.
Pointz @ Feb 26th 2008 5:42PM
It's a good colour, I'm not gonna buy this one though, can't wait to play the full game.
Tremada @ Feb 26th 2008 7:12PM
That color sucks. I wished they released it next week with God of War though, I would have bought it.
HartKnight @ Feb 26th 2008 9:25PM
ZOMFG! I love the look of that system!
Senator Dracula @ Feb 26th 2008 11:19PM
Couldn't they just give us a pack of Kratos stickers instead of putting the face on there?
I'd put my stickers all over my neighbor's car.
sniping_dreamer @ Feb 27th 2008 4:49PM
It looks a bit...Valentines-day like. Looks super shiny though.
Doom3killer @ Mar 3rd 2008 7:08PM
