    We're still trying to piece together why in the world Sony would choose matte bronze as the color for its latest PSP Slim, but now that it's out, we're focusing our attention on just how long it takes these so-called limited edition units to actually sell out. The Value Pack it comes bundled in includes a Japanese version of the handheld, 32MB memory stick, cleaning cloth, a case, AC adapter, battery pack and an AV cable for good measure -- unfortunately, a can of black spray paint actually isn't in the box. A last minute exclusion due to shipping regulations, we're sure. Grab one if you're into it for $278.97.[Via DCEMU]

  • Sony introduces a pantyhose colored PSP, L'eggs-ellent

    Look, we understand that different people have different tastes, but bronze and gold gadgets have have always been a novelty and never sold that well -- so we're totally confused by Sony's decision to release a limited-edition "matte bronze" PSP. That's right, it's not even shiny, it's basically beige -- like, aggressive, 1950s-kitchen beige. Only 60,000 of these abominations are set to be released in Japan, for ¥23,800 ($230), and the bundle includes a TV-out cable for the first time. Of course, we recommend that you pop the extra $29 or whatever to pick up that cable separately and buy a PSP that doesn't immediately call to mind the phrase "nude hose," but if you gotta do it, we'll still be here for you. Just, you know, not when anyone else can see us around that thing.
