Japanese PSP brandishes bronze bundle, cradle

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Mar 4th 2008 at 7:00AM }

As tempting as it'll be to import Japan's latest PSP-2000 when it releases on April 24th (for a limited time), we simply won't stand for Bronze triumphing over brains. Debuting in a new Matte Bronze Value Pack priced at ¥23,800 ($228) , the third-place color will finish in matte "for the first time for PSP." The bundle will include an AC adaptor, battery, pouch, handstrap, cloth, D-Terminal AV cable and a why-even-bother 32MB Memory Stick.

Expected to launch on the same day: A ¥4,800 ($46) cradle and charger for the PSP-2000. It's the ideal device for those 1Seg watchers and mediaphiles who would prefer to interact via the included remote whenever the PSP's hooked up to a relatively distant television. The cradle will also be available in bundled form, with a ¥6,500 ($62) package tossing in a D-Terminal AV cable.

I mean no disrespect to the PSP, but that is not a buy-me color. And why do I need a remote for a handheld, when are you going to keep it farther than an arm's reach?

In all fairness since I got my iPod dock I've been wanting a good PSP one. Its a good way to keep your system charged and a remote is pretty good if you want to play music off it. Which when you have an iPod has no point whatsoever.

Says who? I like the bronze colour. Much better than the red one that was released a while ago.

yeah.. why in gods name would you need a remote control for the freaking PSP? For you to be far enough away for it to be any use, you won't even be able to see the damn thing.

I suppose it could have a niche for people who use their PSP's as UMD players hooked up to TV's, but I'd say that's a stretch of the imagination since there's probably only a handful of people on the planet who actually do that.

NOTE: the PSP plays audio files, among other things.

That's cool for those who haven't gotten a PSP yet, but I bought a brown faceplate for my PSP (which I prefer) and it looks sweet, brown plate black buttons, too bad for me it got scratched barely noticeable but I like my PSP in mint condition, what a waste of dough ;_;

"U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you're..." bronze.

i dont know how i feel about this color. i like it but yet i dont

This is a color to match a wardrobe, not to be a cool gamer. expect more changes to gaming along these lines as the hardware companies catch on to what nintendo has taught them. "hardcore gamers" are a tiny, fickle market.

wow...look at that remote.
got enough buttons sony!?
jeez, take a page from apple on that one.

Apple stepped away from their one button ideals long ago, hell even their mice have a bunch these days.

Sam @ Mar 4th 2008 11:37AM

i'm talking about apple's remote. its cleaner and easier to use? i mean, look at what sony has..50 1/4 inch size buttons. looks awesome....

Hear hear. I've got 2 remotes for my iMac. a TV remote that came with an EyeTV and the Apple Remote. The TV one has every button you'll ever need, the Apple one hasn't but somehow gets the job done better.
