Sony sees red over PSP
6th November 2007 15:15 GMT
Sony has refreshed its PSP line-up for the Christmas rush. It's releasing the handheld console in a seasonal red shade and with two accompanying bundle packs.
Sony's red PSP: available with a TV tuner
Dubbed the Deep Red PSP, gamers will be offered the unit in either a Value Pack or a Seg Pack – so called because it includes a Seg TV tuner for watching digital TV broadcasts, if you get bored of gaming.
The tuner was unveiled for Japan earlier this year (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/07/19/psp_slim_tv_tuner/), but it’ll only work there because 1seg is the country’s mobile terrestrial digital audio, video and data broadcasting service.
Both packs also include a hand strap, pouch and cloth. However, the Seg Pack has a stand and 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo card thrown in too, instead of the Value Pack’s lesser 32MB card.
The Value Pack will cost ¥22,800 (£95/€115/$190) and the Seg Pack ¥29,800 (£125/€145/$250). There’s no word yet on a European release.
