God of War PSP bundle with 'Deep Red' unit in June

Click for high-resolution image

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?

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.

It's not pinkish, but it does have a lipstick red quality to it.

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.

Much like a woman... now that I've seen the backside, I like it that much more. ;)

Now in "Whore Red"

'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!"

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

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

More Red

Less Kratos

Man you guys are slow today :p

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.

They're just including Superbad FO SHO.

MCLOVIN IS AN ORGAN DONOR.

Yes, read into that one heavily, ladies.

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.

I was actually considering it until I saw the face.

Please, don't consider the face.

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

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.

damn I JUST bought this plain black one........

Guess I'm taking it back now..........

ZOMFG! I love the look of that system!

Damn i basically just bought a daxter psp.

It's a good colour, I'm not gonna buy this one though, can't wait to play the full game.

That color sucks. I wished they released it next week with God of War though, I would have bought it.

It looks a bit...Valentines-day like. Looks super shiny though.

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.

i am so buying this...
