“It will also include a UMD featuring videos, live performances and interviews with pop star Pink after Sony signed a new deal with the singer. SCEE’s Stephane Hareau said the launch is about ‘much more than just launching a new colour’, adding: ‘The association with Pink will enable PSP to push new boundaries’."
The pink Sony will be officially unveiled iballitsglory at the Games Convention, Leipzig, 23 – 27, August 2006, says PS3 News.
