Blood red PSP God of War bundle coming out June

Blood red PSP God of War bundle coming out June photo
     Sony

A new PSP bundle has been announced among the other big news from Sony. The God of War Entertainment Pack will consist of the red PSP with Krato's face silkscreened on the back, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Superbad, and a free download of Syphon Filter: Combat Ops. All this will retail for $199.99 and will be released in June.

The bundle is a great value. The PSP normally is $170, Syphon Filter looks to be going for around $40 still, God of War will be $40, and the Superbad UMD is around $20. You're saving nearly $70 here and not to mention the fact that this red PSP will eventually be a collector's item. The only thing I don't understand is why release this three months after the release of God of War? Seems like a bad move to me. 

What do you think of the design Dtoiders? I'm not really liking the red.

I own the red Japanese import with no print on it. I love it, but red's my favorite color so I'm biased.

holy shit. I think I"m just not going to buy the game and wait for this to come out. No, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Anyone want a first gen PSP?

I think it's quite a good colour for the psp but the one KamikazeTutor posted looks better.

Fuck, why can't they just release handhelds in multiple colors like they used to instead of making a bunch of special editions?

It's not that pretty, but I find it beautiful anyway. It's got some Kratos on it.

Shame I've already got one, not to mention I've already got the game preordered for next week. Why 3 months later?

I am so loving the red. Might actually buy one...though three months IS a long wait.

More like slutty-smeared-lipstick red. Blood is much darker.

This is pretty sweet. That could get me to actually buy a PSP again. I sold my original for a 360 and a lack of quality games coming out for it (at the time). Since the game's thing has changed, I may hafta grab myself one. Dunno if I feel like supporting UMD, though. They just needa cut and run on that shit.

Pretty, but I'd never carry it around everywhere.

I dig the red PSP, but I kinda want that Japanese/Europe Spiderman PSP that was announced awhile back.

I agree This really makes no sense to release this bundle 3 months after thje release of GOWO. Bad marketing again Sony. Or does it take 3 months to make a million of these bundles...goof grief

I actually like the red color very much. Too bad the Slim PSPs feel so cheap.

Looks cool, but I always like the default black color better.

I was tossing up getting a PSP recently. I would rather have the white one, tbh, but the bundle is a pretty sweet deal.

The Kratos looks cool. Not really feeling the red. It is a bit loud.

I like red... but not when it's /that/ red. Maybe red and black combo would be better?
