Sony PSP goes Deep Red

Yes, another trivial yet oddly enthralling game-related update from Sony: the "Deep Red" PSP. The PSP-2000 DR is the official moniker in case your big box rep fails to see the obvious when these hit Japan on December 13. Hey, it happens.

Curious how this post as well as the one below it coincide with the order and content at Gizmodo

[Scott McQueen @ Nov 6th 2007 3:35AM]

Dude, they're both top-notch gadget sites. Sometimes they get the info at exactly the same times.

[strider_mt2k @ Nov 6th 2007 8:56AM]

Curious how every once in a while someone thinks they've uncovered a clue to some mystery in the form of similar web sites covering similar stories.

Stop the presses!

All of a sudden I have this urge to change my name to "red psp" ...

[Shawn Wildermuth @ Nov 6th 2007 4:27AM]

What a nasty shade of red...ick.

[Juri @ Nov 6th 2007 4:48AM]

totally!
when i read & clicked the title i was hoping for psp with "mmm" factor that would make me buy it, but this is just nasty.

[R @ Nov 6th 2007 9:34AM]

Looks like blood . . .

[prateeko @ Nov 6th 2007 4:39AM]

Hard to tell how good it'd look in person, but changing the ring around the PSP logo on the back was a horrible choice. Should have kept it silver/metal...

[vileta2 @ Nov 6th 2007 4:54AM]

Doesn't look good at all. They shouldn't have made it entirely red.

[Fruition @ Nov 6th 2007 5:07AM]

I agree that the ring should have stayed silver, but damn I like that color. If I didn't already own a black PSP I'd be clamoring to get my hands on this one. I don't know why, but I find that shade of red to be very appealing.

[GrossGreg @ Nov 6th 2007 5:14AM]

...looks like a fruit snack!

[liin @ Nov 6th 2007 5:27AM]

Ploduktu Ledo?

[Jon @ Nov 6th 2007 5:32AM]

Very nice colour. I am currently shopping for the new PSP but will hold off until this is released.

[Sageco @ Nov 6th 2007 5:45AM]

Bah. Black's the only one for me.

[Raymond @ Nov 6th 2007 6:47AM]

We get that you think Sony is using the color red to attract teens. But please, please don't double post.

[Vince @ Nov 6th 2007 6:53AM]

Nothing against the PSP - I think it's great, but that thing is UGLY!!!

[Mike @ Nov 6th 2007 7:16AM]

maybe if sony took more time to release actual content for the system, instead of just new colours the psp would be doing well, a new colour doesnt make it any more/less fun

[Silver Patd @ Nov 6th 2007 7:29AM]

I think it is related to ADIS in Africa: http://www.joinred.com/
Or is it a coincidence?

[Rob @ Nov 6th 2007 7:49AM]

They forgot to add at the end "Only available at Target stores."

[blah blah blah @ Nov 6th 2007 8:03AM]

Clearly that Crimson DS Lite has these poor boys worried.

[strider_mt2k @ Nov 6th 2007 8:58AM]

Is it endorsed by 80's band Simply Red?

Because it should be.

[Jon Acheson @ Nov 6th 2007 9:34AM]

So, red is the new black? :)

[Ashraf @ Nov 6th 2007 10:31AM]

Have you ever seen the Crimson Red DS with Brain Age 2? I would like that color on the PSP, and how about making the shiny silver thing silver again? it's hideous when it's red.

Red = Favorite color

should of done a "Canadian" Red PSP with silver trimmings

Still think Big N needs to release a classic NES colored {NES patterned} DS like they did for the GBA {sadly it was right before they made the screen brighter on the GBA}.

Don't worry guys, a lot of you are raving about how its not so great in red. Sony has already released blue and gold versions! How does that make you feel?

[equalizer @ Nov 6th 2007 8:26PM]

I fail to see how a new color of PSP is gadget news. New PSP yes...must be a slow news day.

[engadget @ Nov 6th 2007 10:10PM]

I need a "Deep Blue" version to match my car and my PC.

From the pics shown, it doesnt look like it would be too hard to develop a replacement skin in whatever color you want.
