Pink PSP vs. P!ink PSP, or, Classy vs. Trashy

Here at Engadget, we know the terrible ordeal of holiday shopping you're about to face, and we only want to help through this trying time. That's why we've produced this handy guide to pretty pink PSPs, 'cause every little decision counts. So, here's the breakdown: if your sister/girlfriend/mom is skanky (and/or a Sunday Night Football fan), then buy her the P!nk Limited Edition PSP. If your sister/girlfriend/mom is not skanky, buy her the Pink PSP, and toss in Locoroco for good measure -- she deserves it. Don't thank us, we're just glad to help.

That P!nk Limited Edition PSP is probably the trashiest product I have ever seen in my life... This completely proves that PSP is all about the high-quality games not the crappy media-player functions, right?

[Kris @ Nov 4th 2006 2:13PM]

Is there really any difference in these products other than the packaging? Are they the same price? Does the P!nk version have a P!ink logo on the PSP somewhere?

Not that I'll be buying either this holiday season. These days I wouldn't tough a Sony product with a 10-foot pole.

[yosh @ Nov 4th 2006 2:19PM]

You wouldn't touch an English Grammar Book with a 10 foot pole either, would you?

[Anson Pereira @ Nov 4th 2006 3:01PM]

uh, that's not a grammatical error, just a typo. Oh the irony!

[SayWhat @ Nov 4th 2006 2:25PM]

well I guess like it or not nobody really care what you would buy or not buy or either way eh

[Jason @ Nov 4th 2006 2:29PM]

Thats it! I am officially sick of all this P!nk electronic crap.

[misterx @ Nov 5th 2006 1:08PM]

Yeah but, according to this article, if you're a woman than pink electronics are really the only thing that would appeal to you.

But that makes sense doesn't it? I mean all women love the color pink, it's genetic. Just like how I love monster trucks and football, right guys?? But we should really be getting our sisters/girlfriends/moms pink mops and telling them to get back in the kitchen.

slow news day, huh?

[Zamboni Schwartz @ Nov 4th 2006 2:36PM]

Damn p!nko commies trashing up the electronics industry...

[asher @ Nov 4th 2006 2:39PM]

Now you can accessorize to look like a whore, a well seasoned whore.

[Edward Kappus @ Nov 4th 2006 2:48PM]

Why have Pink endorse the PSP? I thought Sony wanted to SELL units.

[Harper @ Nov 4th 2006 2:48PM]

Phono48 you stole my line!! :D

[SHoe @ Nov 4th 2006 3:00PM]

Gee Sony, if your going to use somebody's 15 minutes of fame for marketing purposes, you do it during those 15 minutes - not 2 minutes after the fact.

But that's besides the point: nothing says 'big stupid souless corporation' like taking 'product a' and randomly pairing it with 'celebrity x'. Fire your marketing people - they make the Palm Vx Claudia Schiffer Edition look like a very sensible, convincing match-up.

[LittleJoe @ Nov 4th 2006 2:59PM]

what the f**k sony?



seriously...

what the f**k?

[Stellar @ Nov 4th 2006 3:28PM]

Jesus! who's idea was that. Someone doesnt know what their doing. I mean what a non-existent market, how many 4 yr olds are gonna have daddy buy this for them o_0

[LittleJoe @ Nov 4th 2006 3:31PM]

haha so true.

people that buy Pink products are the same people that yell at their boyfriends for playing their "stupid video games" too much.

[Brian @ Nov 4th 2006 3:56PM]

Next up, the Paris Hilton branded PS3, "that's hot"
...

[Vlad @ Nov 5th 2006 5:42PM]

"Next up, the Paris Hilton branded PS3, "that's hot""

"That's hot" especially cause it overheats.

[Jordan @ Nov 4th 2006 4:32PM]

I'd get a pink one b*tches.

[Dylan @ Nov 4th 2006 4:35PM]

Ok, despiteit being awful lets actually look at the target demographic people. Now there are pleanty of female games who dont fit this stereotype, so dont go biting my head off, but Pinks music is supposed to be anti "plastic celebrity" hence her bloody awful song aboutnot wanting to be popular.

Now the kinda people who listen to her music, in general are those who CANT be popular at school becausethey are too ugly/geeky/spotty. Now these kids get out less because they dont have the friends to go out with, and thus are more likly to play video games.

So to conclude the target audience may actually be bang on for sony.

Now that statement was chockablock with massive sweeping generalisations, but anyone who's done the tinyest bit of advertising knows thats exactly what its all about.

[kenny @ Nov 5th 2006 10:26PM]

yeah, but at the same time, those people that they are targeting would be the least likely to want to be seen with a pink psp.

[aka Wombat @ Nov 4th 2006 5:18PM]

her face reminds me of bathroom

[nic @ Oct 10th 2007 11:55AM]

haha, i bet she gets more p*ssy n d*ck than you anyday. and we are not even interested in seeing your face because you are probably the most boring, uninteresting person who just sits on his lazy ass infront of the computer thinking he is all brave. someone needs to get a life.

[Scott @ Nov 4th 2006 6:27PM]

Trash is the New Black!

[SHon @ Nov 4th 2006 6:49PM]

2 questions. 1. what gives people like sony the idea that we all love p!nk so much? 2. what gives sony (and theother electronic companies that have decided to grace us with this bs) the idea that p!nk knows anything about a psp? can she even turn the damn thing on?

[tekdroid @ Nov 4th 2006 6:50PM]

I'll be waiting for the Beyonce and/or Bono version. I hope to see it endorsed on Oprah. Only then I'll know it's a safe buy.

[Dale @ Nov 5th 2006 8:03AM]

So is the only difference between them that one has a picture of P!nk on the box?

[010111 @ Nov 5th 2006 9:31PM]

"Pinks music is supposed to be anti "plastic celebrity" hence her bloody awful song aboutnot wanting to be popular."


she's a Top 40 artist on a major label for christsakes. give me a break. she is as contrived and manufactured as the rest of them.

[kitpixie @ Nov 6th 2006 10:18AM]

I can't speak for all women, but pink is my favorite color. I'm all over this - not the P!nk version (I just don't want to have to look at her picture on the box), but I can't wait to see the regular pink PSP. I have never been all that interested in the PSP before, but now I'm seriously considering getting one. There is an incredible dearth of products targeted to girl gamers, and I think Sony will clean up on this one.

[Danielle @ Nov 8th 2006 6:10AM]

obviously none of u know what talent is! this is probably the best thing sony has done by making a p!nk psp.. to the rest of you .. sit and spin! p!nk rocks!

[Aliyson @ Nov 16th 2006 6:56PM]

I agree, P!nk does rock!!!
Whats up you guys is she too opinionated for you to understand?
The world would be a much safer place for our kids to grow up in if there were more like her, but I guess none of you have taken the trouble to find out about her before you tore her to bits!!

[SATAN @ Jul 28th 2007 11:24AM]

Its a damn BOX for christ sake? Who keeps the box? They should make more products in differnt colours than black, silver or white.In Japan there are Blue/gold/silver/white/black/camo coloured psps. If you dont like something dont buy it, simple! Complaining retards.
