New PSP 3000 “Candy Colors” Release For Japan Only
GadgetReview — ... March 19th will see the Japan only release of 4 new “Candy Colored” PSP 3000’s.  Looking very shiny and tasty, it’s a shame US consumers won’t get a chance at purchase.  Fingers can be crossed for what the future may bring however.  In addition, for $279 you get a 4Gb Duo Memory Stick, a handstrap, and a pouch.  Seems a little pricey to me, considering you can get a good ole’ US PSP 3000 and a 4Gb stick for under $200. [Wired] ...

Japan — and only Japan — getting RGBY-colored PSPs
DVICE Atom Feed — ... The bad news? Yeah, it's only for Japan. The RGBY PSPs will cost around $220, or come bundled with a 4 GB memory card, pouch and handstrap for $280. Considering PSP-3000s go for $170, that's a $50 premium you'd be paying just for a new color. Still, I think I would have been more receptive to buying a 3000 to replace my first gen PSP if it came in a purty color. Nintendo, at least, won't make us wait too long before we can get our hands on the new DSi. Wired, via New Launches
