The PSP goes gold ... literally photo

If you're a sucker for a new device simply because it changes color, then Sony has released something special for you -- well, you meaning Japan. The good news though, non-Japanese people, is that the menus are in English and the $200 PSP will play U.S. games. Check it out:

The new gold PSP is available now for $200, and while it's made for Japanese audiences, you can still read the menus in English and play US games. You won't be able to watch US UMD movies on it, but come on, were you really planning on doing that in the first place? 

I bet you want a PSP now, don't you Mr. Superficial?

I don't really like the gold... I need to get a PSP though because I have all the other handheld devices.

I would prefer black over gold though.

I like the Nintendo DS's pink handheld.

MAKE A PSP IN PINK! Is there?

Why don't you PSP nerds get artsy and paint your own goddamn handhelds. When I was your age, handhelds came in one color...cloudy day GRAY.

God, can't Nintendo do anything without Sony copying it?

I can't look at that thing without thinking of the 3rd Austin Powers movie.

I would consider buying a PSP if it went for $75.

Seriously, that device has so completely tanked, I can't even imagine what Sony could possibly do to resurrect it.

Ask me next week, and I'll probably say I won't buy it unless it's $70.
