Sony To Release New PSP 'Entertainment' Bundle Tomorrow
As hinted at in
earlier meetings with market analysts,
Sony Computer Entertainment America today has announced a new $249
'Entertainment Pack' holiday bundle, including a movie, game, and 1GB
memory stick for its PSP handheld.
On September 13th it will release the bundle, which includes a black model PSP, its
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails
game -- recently entered into its Greatest Hits line -- and Sony
Pictures' "Lords of Dogtown" UMD movie, as well as a 1GB memory stick.
At a MSRP of $249.99, it puts this season's holiday pack at a price
below last year's Giga pack, which included only the 1GB memory stick,
and in line price-wise with the portable's original Value Pack, which
included a UMD sampler, but only a 32MB memory stick. Purchased
separately, Sony has added, the component parts would retail at more
than $300.
"The PSP system's success stems from its ability to combine
console-quality gaming with multimedia applications, and this new
package showcases all of the system's strengths," said Peter Dille,
senior vice president, marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America.
"Whether consumers want to pick up and play one of our top racing
franchises, watch a movie, or enjoy their own music, photos,
downloadable content and more, the PSP Entertainment Pack delivers it
all in one convenient package."
