Update: SCEA has confirmed the bundle via press release. The 'limited-edition' God of War Entertainment Pack will include a "Deep Red" PSP with Kratos 'silk-screened' on the back, a copy of the game, Superbad UMD, and a PSN voucher to download Syphon Filter: Combat Ops from the PC PlayStation Store. The bundle will be available in June for $199.99.
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.

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.

Looks like a "ruby" red to me.
Or maybe the goat blood they used to paint it is just still a little wet. XD

I have the red PSP in the picture. The pictures show it as more lipstick and metallic than it actually is.

Eh, it should be more of a crimson shade of red if they're going to bundle it with God of War.

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.

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.

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.
