Lime green PSP in the works?

Sony might think the DSi is just for kids, but it's never had any problems pumping out candy-colored PSPs -- and the next hue off the line might be lime green, if this image supposedly leaked from inside a Sony factory is any indication. It's, uh, seasonally appropriate, at the very least -- anyone revved up by this?

will definitely not sell 600,000 in first weekend like $170 dsi did, guaranteed.

What are you even talking about? Are you even on the right Thread? The subject it COLOR! PLEASE READ!!!

the psp is pretty much dead sadly. i have had one since 2006. resistance badly sucked. i have very moderate faith in the newly announced assassins creed and rock band games for it, other than that, kill psp and get the psp2 out already!

[hemmy Posted Apr 12th 2009 5:51PM]

I found resistance to be quite good, and I don't think the psp is anywhere near dead, and the calls for a PSP2 seems to me a bit premature in light of 50 million+ sales and a slate of new games on the way.

more like puke green.

[ajeezy Posted Apr 12th 2009 10:49PM]

I think if your puke is that color you need to see a doctor

gross

[FILA Posted Apr 12th 2009 4:23PM]

why does everyone like matte finishes, and yea ok no fingerprints, but I think the glossy looks better then matte. Like flat paint, who would want that. I hate how Nintendo didnt finish off the case with the glossy plastic.


juicy fruit

That might look cool with black buttons, or lime buttons in a black case...

right now it just looks as gross as that puke-colored DS Lite Nintendo released a while back.

[Jezer29 Posted Apr 12th 2009 4:41PM]

Im not interested in any colored PSP right now.. I as well am waiting to see what the PSP2 provides.. I have a PSP slim and a very unique on as well. http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/080304be.html

I have yet to see anyone with this PSP which is cool. I live in NYC so I use my PSP mainly listening to music on the walk to the train and I'll play on the train and listen to more music on the walk to work.. Depending on what type of day it is at work, I'll put some movies in to and what that or finish a game that I might have..Though there not alot of them.. I tend to try to get games that have alot of reply value like Superstar dust portable or something like that.. With the new games coming to the system and the potential of the new PSP2 things can turn around by next year.

[pcgt33 Posted Apr 12th 2009 4:42PM]

This is the ugliest psp ever!!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 12th 2009 4:52PM]

why dont Sony concentrate on putting some good games out for this thing, why waste time coming up with different coloured devices??

[cflip2x Posted Apr 12th 2009 4:56PM]

Mmmm Shamrock Shake and a PSP

[BackStabber Posted Apr 12th 2009 4:58PM]

That's absolutely revolting on so many levels.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 12th 2009 5:04PM]

For all of those waiting for the PSP2, I hate to break it to you, but this is it. They just want to use bright colors so it looks different from the PSP.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 12th 2009 5:06PM]

Sony employee: Developers are abandoning the psp platform...
Sony executive: Why?
Sony employee: Some say its a lack of controls issue...
Sony executive: And what else?
Sony employee: Maybe the UMD format isn't as appealing....
Sony executive Ok (think deeply).... let's release a lime green psp....
Sony employee: (.......)

[Juggalo SteWieH Posted Apr 12th 2009 6:49PM]

you know Im really gettign tired of seeing engadget ripping the exact same storys off the gameing site. its quite annoying. we want actual news not some bullshit we read about three or four days ago over there

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 12th 2009 7:19PM]

NO. It's a FUCKING DIFFERENT COLOR, with EXACTLY THE SAME FUCKING FEATURES. Who gives a FLYING FUCK?

[bebop Posted Apr 12th 2009 7:55PM]

I scrolled down the comments just to see how many it would take before someone came out and said it. Almost 75. That's weak people, really weak.

Not that it's just Sony, MS and Ninty do exactly the same thing: if weekly sales are flagging or they want to spike interest against a competitors new release, then its time to wheel out a another color or slap a sticker on it can call it a "special edition". Sigh.

[TacticalTimbo Posted Apr 12th 2009 7:34PM]

love that colour, its so nice...deff goanna get it! neon colours are actually quite fashionable outside the geek dome at the moe, just saying. might actually be quite successful. btw i am no child, just have space in my life for colours other than black, white and silver or various combinations of the three. interstingly everyone seemed to love the res 5 edition of the 360, i hated it, looked nasty and other than including res 5 in the box, what was res 5 about it?

[sgteaston Posted Apr 12th 2009 9:33PM]

...or you could just buy a new shell on eBay for $10.

Oh wait, not everyone knows how to use a screwdriver.

[raienoire Posted Apr 12th 2009 10:13PM]

I love my psp and all, but i would definitely not shovel out the money to buy a lime green psp...

[Wheee Posted Apr 12th 2009 10:20PM]

I like the colour... loathe the design...

Actually I'm just commenting to get Google Chrome to remember my Engadget password.

[KEROLiUKAS Posted Apr 12th 2009 10:34PM]

WTF it did not say it again, it won't let me say less than three (heart) C h e b u r a s k a....awesome oldschool character

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 12th 2009 11:57PM]

Who would spend money on a PSP with THAT color?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 13th 2009 5:16AM]

hmm I don't like that color

[x Prime x Posted Apr 13th 2009 5:26AM]

ewww

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 13th 2009 5:48AM]

THis psp definately looks fake i mean look at the bottom left part it should be silver not green its an imposter

[superhobo Posted Apr 13th 2009 6:20AM]

It's a damn faceplate, stfu.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 13th 2009 6:24AM]

i like it
but lime green psp looks awfully obvious- not good for school.
at least for old stupid teachers, a black psp can sorta pass as a TI-84 or something

[mattisdada Posted Apr 13th 2009 6:50AM]

I personally like the color! Hope its real!

[Mr Hett Posted Apr 13th 2009 10:32AM]

SLIME TIME LIVE

[GErvy Posted Apr 13th 2009 11:34AM]

Less colors - more games.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 13th 2009 1:33PM]

THIS IS NOTHING NEW! I have a shot of this color PSP from E3 2004. They had 15 - 20 different colors on display and this was one of them. I doubt this is a new picture. And yes, its ugly.

[simonromin Posted Apr 13th 2009 6:27PM]

lord have mercy - how a single color can destroy all aesthetics of a product...

[DeAthWaGer Posted Apr 14th 2009 2:49AM]

Stop giving gaming companies money for a stupid new color option. It's like buying the same car again because it's a different color but the same make and model.

Most people don't want to paint, so...
Replacement colored cases have been around for decades for almost every conceivable system for the cheap.

Now go void a warranty... Or just open the dang thing if it's over.
