A crimson red coloured PSP will hit stores some time this June along with a copy of God of War: Chains of Olympus. But that’s not all – it will also come with a UMD version of Superbad and a gift certificate to download Syphon Filter: Combat Ops from the Playstation Store.
The red PSP is somewhat like the heavily-promoted white Star Wars PSP with the image of Darth Vader on the back, but instead this version has a silk-screened image of the Spartan warrior Kratos on the back. No stranger to blood, Kratos features a streak of blood running down his face – hence the red colour of the PSP. Chains of Olympus is set for a release on March 4, but those with patience or, for some reason, who really want a red PSP can wait until June to get the entire bundle pack for $199.99.
For those who own a PS3, Sony announced this Tuesday that the DualShock 3 will finally hit store shelves on April 15th. This is big news for PS3 gamers who miss the rumble in their experience, as the controller will offer a rumbling sensation while utilizing full wireless Sixaxis capabilities and work will with over 100 games already out for the PS3. Weighing in at 192 grams, the DualShock 3 is 40% heavier than the current Sixaxis controller for the PS3. It will come in ceramic white and black, as well as a special satin silver bundled with the 40 GB Satin Silver PS3 on March 6th. They will also come bundled with a Metal Gear Solid 4 theme 80 GB Playstation 3 in June. The controller has been available in Japan since November 11, 2007, so if your wallet it thick enough, you can always import it.
For those who can wait, the DualShock 3 will sell for $54.99 on its own in April.
Sony recently announced they will be releasing their all-white version of the Playstation 3 to North America sometime soon, though no release date is clear.
With all the talk of the PS3 being too expensive compared to the other two consoles on the market, it seems Sony is still cashing in on sales with the high price. Sony plans to manufacture a white, 40GB PS3 for the American market, with pictures of the all-white version recently released. If they really needed to increase sales they would either lower the retail price or include more extras with the console, rather than simply changing the colour of the outer plastic. This proves to me that even with the lack of interesting titles currently available for the PS3, Sony has no intention of lowering the cost of the console any time soon. And with great new titles yet to be released, gamers will have all the more reason to purchase a PS3 for its ridiculous price. Black or white outer casing, it’s up to you to pay as much as Sony is asking for its PS3 with Blu-Ray capabilities.
The ceramic white PS3 will sell for $499.00.
