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.

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. :(

Mr. N: Feb 26th 2008; 2:00PM

any info on whether this is coming to europe?

Mills and Boom: Feb 26th 2008; 2:00PM

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

KayRazy Ken Kutaragi: Feb 26th 2008; 2:03PM

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

prateeko: Feb 26th 2008; 2:23PM

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!): Feb 26th 2008; 2:24PM

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

i am so buying this...
