Cinnabar red PS2, solo blue PSP debut in Japan in July

Sony will release the Metallic Blue slim PSP color in Japan as part of a “value pack” that includes a pouch, charger, wrist strap, 32 MB Memory Stick Pro Duo and a useless for importers D-terminal TV cable for 23,800 yen ($230) on July 17. Residents in Japan can add on the One Seg tuner for an extra 6,000 yen ($58), which brings the final price of the One Seg pack to 29,800 yen ($288). However, at that price the Madden Entertainment Pack coming to North America in August sounds like a much better deal. Sony Computer Entertainment’s blue PSP bundle includes a copy of Madden 09, a UMD video of NFL clips, a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo and a code to download Beats for $30 less.

Two weeks earlier Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will sell the Cinnabar Red slim PlayStation 2 in Japan for 16,000 yen ($155). This color was previously released by Sony Computer Entertainment Asia right around Lunar New Year.

Nice metallic blue for the PSP. I hope they would just bring out a different colored Wii alrdy (where’s my black Wii), there’s like 10 colors for the PSP and a couple for PS3.

Ever since your original post about this, I have been searching high and low for some online retailer who carried the Asian version. Eventually I figured it had either been extremely limited or canceled and gave up!

Thank you so much for letting us know about this — as a US resident, I would rather have JP power requirements anyway, and it looks like this one will be easier to obtain as it is available for preorder in online stores.
