Sony has again favoured its Japanese gamers first and launched a special edition PlayStation Portable (PSP) in a bronze-coloured shell.
Sony bronze PSP bundle pack is only for Japan, so far
Despite Japan already having taken delivery of the ceramic white PS3 (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/03/01/ceramic_white_ps3_circuit_city_usa/) and readying itself for the satin silver model (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/02/05/satin_ps3_to_launch_in_japan/) in two days' time, Sony still feels Japanese gamers’ tastes aren’t catered for fully enough and so has unveiled the re-sprayed console in a new bundle pack.
PSP bundle packs aren’t new - black, white, red God of War-themed models (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/02/27/sony_introduces_80gb_mgs4_ps3/), and even a Simpsons-esque yellow variation have already been created. The bronze edition includes a host of goodies, including a carry pouch, strap, 32MB Memory Stick Duo and charger, in addition to the console itself.
The bronze bundle pack will cost about ¥23,800 (£115/€151/$230) when it’s released there on 24 April. No word yet on a UK release yet.
