UPDATE - check out the images…
Some good news in from Sony about the PSP-3000. Which colour are you going to go for?
London, 05th FEBRUARY 2009: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced three brand-new colours for PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable): Mystic Silver and Pearl White (available in the UK from February 2009) and Radiant Red (available in the UK from March 2009). Place a whole new world of colour in your hands with PSP-3000, the world’s most stylish handheld entertainment system, bringing even more personality to incredible gaming and entertainment on the go.
The possibilities are never-ending with PSP-3000: you can access games, music, videos, online chat and photos. And it’s not just the console that comes in colour – the enhanced LCD screen brings games, photos and videos to life with bright, clear imagery. Take photos of your friends, listen to your favourite music, watch videos and play exciting brand-new PSP titles such as Buzz!™: Brain of the UK, Resistance: Retribution™, and Patapon™ 2. PSP-3000 also features a TV-out socket so you can view all your photos, videos and games on a television screen!
You can also communicate with your friends across the world for free¹. The built-in microphone allows you to add telephone chat to your PSP experience. Enabled with Skype, you can connect with friends and family on the move from any Wi-Fi hotspot.
With a fantastic software line-up in 2009, there has never been a better time to experience true gaming and entertainment on the go, with PSP. It’s time to place a whole new world of colour in your hands: PSP-3000 releases in Mystic Silver and Pearl White in February 2009, and Radiant Red in March 2009.
I really don’t know….but somehow having a change in colour scheme just does not seem like a viable marketing option if sony plan on increasing unit sales within the U.K..
I swear if it was not for Japan the handheld would’ve crashed and burned - and I’m someone who loves the PSP!

I have yet to dip into the PSP hyteria, or lack there of depending on who you ask ( ahem JS ). I’ve heard that the PSP2 may be announced shortly, possibly at GDC or failing that later on at E3. Now PSP2 should rival iPhone.

To be honest I’ve always preferred the black. However, I’m not really a portable gamer and so have resisted the urge to buy a PSP. News of the GPS utility sparked my interest last year, but ultimately wasn’t enough to make me splash out.
At this point I wouldn’t care what colour it came in, I would still wait for a proper PSP2 in all it’s touch screen motion sensitive built in GPS and camera iPhone-esque glory (you know it’s going to happen sooner or later!).

I want one in Sunfire Yellow, so it matches my Firebird in color

What the PSP needs right now is more games. Not more colours.
Over & Out.

…and let’s hope there is a suitable Sackboy-themed & coloured PSP console bundle for the “LittleBIGPlanet” release on this platform later this year.
Much like those released for “The Simpsons Game”, “God of War: Chains of Olympus”, “Spider-man 2″, “Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron”, & “Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII” (10th Anniversary):

more games, not colours! if it wasn’t for my megadrive collection umd i would have sold my psp ages ago. great for use as a device to take films/music over to friends to rig to their tv/amp (via adapter cable) though. i’m not one for sitting around as part of the ‘eternal soundtrack’ zombies, i like to hear what’s going on in the world.
i has a clear mod’ cased psp slim ‘n’ light with 2Gb

My PSP usage consist of;
Hear of a new fw update. Charge the battery. Install the update. Put PSP away until the next fw update. Punctuated with looking for a new game that’s different and cost less than a tenner. Only got one for the remote play function with the PS3 and that didn’t work for me. lol.

I got my psp the first day it originally came out and since then have enjoyed every game I have brought for it, 2 in total!!! Appaling line up has never got me excited about a release. The only thing i use mine for is watching videos on plane journeys and like bluegene to see what the next update has to offer(usually not alot)

I still have my original psp covered in dust somewhere, I bought it on the strength that it would be used for a rearview or wing mirror in racing games(or was that just F1 CE only?), and since it didn’t come to be I only used it to play killzone liberation…and thats it, but Im still intrigued by the satnav option and voice chat in the newer versions of PSP…well if money comes my way I may splash out on a new one

I think the psp needs better updates so you could actually watch some of them youtube videos through the psp
