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?

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*

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..........
HartKnight @ Feb 26th 2008 9:25PM
ZOMFG! I love the look of that system!
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.
sniping_dreamer @ Feb 27th 2008 4:49PM
It looks a bit...Valentines-day like. Looks super shiny though.
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.
Doom3killer @ Mar 3rd 2008 7:08PM
i am so buying this...
