Portable Gaming Revolution

Earlier today, Sony announced an entertainment pack that they have put out to coincide with the release of Madden 09.  The pack contains all sorts of goodies including, among other things, a never-before-released-in-North-America “Metallic Blue” PSP-2000. Something to keep in mind if you’re collecting the various PSP colors is that picking up this bundle is the only way you’ll be able to get your hands on the “Metallic Blue” PSP, short of importing it from Japan, of course.

Other items included in the entertainment pack are the game (Madden 09),  a Beats PSN voucher, NFL: In Just One Play UMD and a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.  All of this is available to you for a fairly decent price: $199.99 USD. The bundle is available from the Sony Style Store.
