PSP goes pink with Pink

Sony was a little lax about making sure we knew they were going pink with Pink on the PSP today, too, but it does indeed look like we can chalk up another color for the portable. Apparently the singer's just doing the usual sponsored / co-branded business, releasing the P!nk Limited Edition PSP with headphones, remote, 32MB Memory Stick, but what raised a couple eyebrows over yonder is the fact that she's not signed with Sony, and what's more Sony will also offering Pink downloads on their YourPSP site. Anywho, from what we understand Sony pulled the official release, so they're apparently not yet prepped to discuss the ramifications of the PSP getting femmed out even though we now know it will run you €229 or £169 when it debuts October 27th.

does it come with green headphones?

I wonder if this Vespa will be available in pink as well: http://www.popgadget.net/2006/08/psp_vespa.php

[Namssorg @ Aug 21st 2006 8:17PM]

I can see selling pink DS Lites. But I just CAN'T imagine anyone playing GTA, Ridge Racer, Etc. on a pink PSP. Nice Try.

Who gives a CRAP?

Sony Mylo, PLEAAAAAAAAASE!!!

[laffy taffy @ Aug 21st 2006 8:32PM]

"Who gives a ..."

Wake up Frank, you do, yes you Frank, you do. Look buddy you even went out of you way and posted a reply to this very thread. Now be a dear and flush 'cause you're stinkin' up the place.

GAAAAHHHHH My EYES!

[LMM @ Aug 21st 2006 8:41PM]

All I know is those orange charging and memory stick access lights just DO NOT match that shade of pink. Though it does match my purse....

[daedal @ Aug 21st 2006 8:43PM]

I'm just waiting until they release the firmware version that will allow me to play PS1 games.

[Arizona Glover @ Aug 21st 2006 8:44PM]

Think Pink !

[silky_z @ Aug 21st 2006 8:44PM]

Errr... I thing another color would be better, maybe blue or green or even crystal!!

Mmmm... see threw PSP.

[Germ @ Aug 21st 2006 8:52PM]

Again I must say....

If I play it, will it cure my indigestion?

[Jeff @ Aug 21st 2006 8:54PM]

Something not quite right about this pink. It's too dark, isn't it? Or pale? Or too matte? It rubs me the wrong way somehow. And I'm normally a fan of goofy girly colored game systems.

[par @ Aug 21st 2006 8:57PM]

If I buy this will it get me girls?

[dkchoco69 @ Apr 4th 2007 11:30AM]

yes!!! it will get u girls!

[dazza @ Aug 21st 2006 9:07PM]

sony are that desperate for cash ie lets not mention their 700 hundred million dollar loan they have had to resort to the v3 sales model- put your product in pink and hope it apeals to the girls. I wouldn't be surpised if they started offering pink tv's next.

[R0DJOh @ Aug 21st 2006 9:09PM]

Looks like a piece of gum shaped like a PSP.

[5ftassassin @ Aug 21st 2006 9:12PM]

This is what's wrong with that shade of pink:

[Supra @ Aug 21st 2006 9:30PM]

Sony needs that color to attract the European market.

[Sean DL @ Aug 21st 2006 9:30PM]

About time Sony took that page out of Nintendo's handheld playbook with colors.....

Now Apple needs to take that hint with the nano....

[vrf @ Aug 21st 2006 9:36PM]

Seems kind of weird that they're going after girls with the pink system, but with no games that appeal to females.

[Matt Z @ Aug 21st 2006 9:42PM]

This would be a whole lot better if Sony was donating proceeds from the sale of this and the Pink PS2 for breast cancer research.

MLB used Pink bats for a few dozen games for Breast Cancer, why not Sony?

[js @ Aug 21st 2006 9:51PM]

"MLB used Pink bats for a few dozen games for Breast Cancer, why not Sony?"

It's because Sony is run by a bunch of greedy bastards.

[Rich @ Aug 21st 2006 10:03PM]

Pink is in fact signed to LaFace Records/Zomba Label Group, a division of Sony BMG.

[Jamesology @ Aug 21st 2006 10:12PM]

LMAO @ par... you are actually trying to get girls with video games??? LMAO, you must be one ugly dude.

@ js.... it's funny how you say Sony are greedy bastards; let me guess you believe Nintendo is not? That is funny! I last recall Nintendo remaking their Gameboy every couple months. First, GBA, then couple months later GBA SP then a better GBA SP with brighter screen. I thought that was MS' strategy with their Ipods. The reason why the DS is cheaper is b/c it is also weaker. It can't even handle surfin the web with its cartridge add-on. What other cartidge add-on are they gonna try?

[Chris @ Aug 21st 2006 10:14PM]

What the hell? Are all the guys here pathetic 'can't get a women' guys? Hmmm I'm a guy.. but at least I didn't buy my PSP to get women:S You guys are strange.

[I,Robot @ Aug 21st 2006 10:18PM]

That great... but where are the G*ddam games?

[me @ Aug 21st 2006 10:34PM]

LOL,i think it should be combined with http://www.sanrio.com/hellokitty/ ,it will be more pink.

[Regula Oblique @ Aug 21st 2006 11:57PM]

"Now Girlfriend that is CUTE!"

[Fuzz @ Aug 22nd 2006 12:07AM]

I think I just vomited a little in my mouth.

I think its time for some of the other pink stuff.

[R3AL1Z3 @ Aug 22nd 2006 12:12AM]

Wow, nobody can take a joke anymore, eh?

[Oddmanout @ Aug 22nd 2006 2:10AM]

Is it just being released in europe ? I could almost understand it if they released a pink PSP in Japan. As macho and male oriented a society as Japan has, believe it or not, lots of guys here wear pink. And I don't mean those 'pink' button down shirts that dudes sometimes wear to the office with a suit. I mean pink t-shirts and polo shirts and such.

But, young Japanese males these days (of the slightly thuggish variety) are suprisingly foppish.

So over here a pink PSP probably wouldn't sell any worse than a black one...which isn't really saying much I suppose...

[Joe @ Aug 22nd 2006 2:25AM]

Jamesology, I love your fanboy response to the rampant fanboyism. There's nothing quite like like a hypocrite to help things along. Also, MS's iPods? I was unaware that Microsoft started making iPods. You'd better correct that post before some Apple or Microsoft fanboys come in here and start bashing on you.

[Matt Rix @ Aug 22nd 2006 3:25AM]

Haha, I made one of these a long time ago in a Photoshop Battle... Check it out:

Funny, it's somewhat similar...

"I thought that was MS' strategy with their Ipods."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!1111OnE
You freaking idiot...

[JC @ Aug 22nd 2006 8:50AM]

Nintendo can release a pink DS because at least a decent percentage of their fan base is female, and they have the games to support it.

Some brilliant marketer at Sony thought this would be a good idea, but let me tell you, a colour change and Loco Roco do not a good system make.

I have both systems, so Sony fanboys go away.

[Keaton @ Aug 23rd 2006 3:30AM]

OMG!!!! That thing is dead sexy!!!! I gotta get me one of those....

[Gazbin @ Aug 23rd 2006 8:23AM]

No Justin, it won't get you girls but it will get you a Sony Fanny Boy with a leaky memory stick and an unfortunate UMD. No question: Sony blows.

[Fooly Cooly @ Aug 29th 2006 12:45PM]

i know some might not agreee...but.. the psp...*gulp* sucks and the ds lite is better...im sorry

[Gold Fish @ Sep 12th 2006 7:04AM]

OMG!! this thing looks so....erk. I'm gonna need a vomit bag.

[J.I.F @ Oct 12th 2006 12:05AM]

[daveyzilla @ Oct 25th 2006 5:54AM]

MS bought Apple. so MS Ipod is correct.

[strangeseraph @ Nov 10th 2006 10:13AM]
