More PlayStation News: Slimmer PlayStation and PSP Bundle
Ah, don’t we all love PlayStation? Do I hear boos from the Wii and the Xbox crowd? Anyhow, the popularity of the PlayStation console is undeniable and therefore, a post about the newest PlayStation console update also is, just like the last time I posted PlayStation news. Sony, developer of PlayStation — the console which everybody loves (or hates) — has announced two releases for PlayStation before Christmas this year.
First stop, Sony Europe. The Recording Media & Energy from Sony’s European arm has recently announced that PlayStation fans would be getting some PSP Christmas treat this year. Sony Europe has decided to promote their new merchandise — Memory Stick Pro Duo, gaming edition. In order to do so, they did a bit of the ol’ school bundled merchandise technique. Hence, the 8GB memory stick by MagicGate comes with the Smash Court Tennis 3 PlayStation Portable game. The memory stick provides the much needed memory capacity which could store multimedia files such as more music, videos and photos. I don’t know about you but I’d love to get my hands on that memory stick.
On another note, Sony will also be releasing another version of PS2! Talk about making money. Knowing that it’ll take a while before the market carries enough PS3 games for the complete satisfaction of gamers, they released a slimmer and sleeker version of the PS2 which no gaming geek in the world could resist. The slimmer PlayStation is reportedly under 1.6 pounds. Officially named SCPH-90000, the console’s components are smaller than the original PS2’s hence it has been made slimmer. Apparently, Sony wants to cash in on the selling point that the slimmer PlayStation will make it “easier to carry if you want to take it to a friend’s house.” Hah. Easier for you to make more money that is. The slimmer PS2 would be released in Japan on November 22 for $140 and to the rest of the world next year, retailing above $100.
