Sony will ship White version of the PSP next week in the UK

Sony announced a while ago that it plans to release a white version of its popular PSP handheld console. The Register reports that UK retailers are showing shipping dates starting next week for the white device.

The white PSP will ship in a value pack that includes headphones, a case, an AC adaptor and a 32MB MemoryStick while the base pack will only include the AC adaptor and PSP unit. The Value pack will ship in the UK for £180 while the base pack will sell for £150. We haven’t been able to find a price or release date for the US market, but Gamestop and Babbages employees claim that "the UK release is not unique."

LOL, seriously. It seems Sony (like pretty much everyone) is trying to emulate the Ipod...

Looks like Sony is taking a hint from Apple.

Look guys, Apple was not the first and only company to ship a product that is white. Sony has two models of the psp...a black one and a white one. It just makes sense to do this, for people who don't like the black one might like the white one, and vice versa.

The white value pack was released here in New Zealand on the 5th of May for the same price as the black version (http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/en/pro...)
