Sony officially launches pink PSP

It's official - Sony is indeed going to offer a pink PlayStation Portable in association, we're told, with the chart-topping pop chanteuse of the same name the better to attract "young women with freedom, confidence and attitude" to the platform. Unlike the upcoming pink PS2, the salmon-hued portable console doesn't ship with appropriately tinted accessories - including a 32MB Memory Stick Duo and a Pink UMD - but it too is a limited edition, Sony said. It'll be in European shops on 27 October priced at £169/€229. ®
