TOKYO--In Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment is introducing
artist-designed carrying cases for fashion-conscious PlayStation
Portable owners who are willing to pay to be pretty. Today, the company
announced three new designs in its PS Pictogram series, products
designed by fashion moguls with the PlayStation's four button symbols
as their main theme (triangle, square, circle, and X). Sony has
collaborated in the past with a number of designers, including Porter
and Yoshida, and they've created various PlayStation-designed products,
such as wallets, T-shirts, and leather straps.
This time, Sony will release three carrying cases for the PSP, which
are each designed by different fashion studios and boutiques; Kuntzel +
Deygas (Paris, France), Surface to Air (New York), and Hideki Inaba
(Tokyo). Each PSP carrying case will be offered for the price of 13,650
yen ($116) beginning April 30 at Sony's official shopping site. For
