NEW PS2 and PSP

New PS2:

Launching in Japan on November 22nd (with Europe getting it in early 2008, while us North Americans aren't yet officially on the list), while the overall design isn't hugely different from the currently slim PlayStation 2, there are a few noticeable changes. The AC adapter for the console is now built into the system - meaning no more "brick" on the power cord - yet even with this change, the console itself will be lighter in weight (if that's even possible). The overall size and shape of the PS2 will be the same as the current model, but the shiny "bar" that was present before has been extended to the far left (or bottom, depending on console placement) edge of the system, and the previous ridges - which were a design nod back to the original PS2 - have been replaced by a smooth, flat, squared look.

NEW PSP:

The PS2 wasn't the only piece of Sony hardware to get some love in Japan, however; the PSP will be offered in a limited edition (and very attractive) "Deep Red" color this holiday season in Japan. The Deep Red PSP will be available in one of two bundles: a "PSP Deep Red Value Pack," which includes the PSP, a pouch, hand strap, screen cloth, and 32MB Memory Stick Duo for 22,800 yen ($199), and a "PSP Deep Red 1 Seg Pack," which includes the 1 Seg tuner (for watching Japanese digital TV), a pouch that can hold both the PSP and the tuner, a strap, the screen cloth, and a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo for 29,800 yen ($260).
