PAUSE resumes in Australia: PSP-2000 release announced
Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, perhaps not wanting to stay behind Japan’s PlayStation Premiere, commenced their second PlayStation Australia Update & Software Event (PAUSE), along with a good share of the goodies Sony touted during the E3 Media & Business Summit.
After a revelation of over 2,000,000 PS2 units, 300,000 PSP units and close to 60,000 PlayStation 3s sold, Sony Australia’s marketing director Michael Ephraim also revealed the new PSP-2000 (PSP Slim to others, PSP Diet to jokers) and a September release for the revised PlayStation Portable in the region.
With the Ice Silver version tossed out the window, Australia will get to choose from the Ceramic White and the Piano Black versions instead. The availability of the Star Wars Battlefront II package – the one that sports the Ceramic White PSP-2000 – hasn’t been confirmed, though.
With hands on demos with Incognito’s Warhawk, Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, SCEJ‘s Eye of Judgement, Naughty Dog‘sUncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and Factor 5‘s Lair along with free music video clips from Sony BMG, attendees and 30,000 other PlayStation 3 users were reportedly satisfied with Sony Australia’s second PAUSE, despite the lack of an 80 GB PlayStation 3 or a decent price cut for the console in the region.
