Japan gets red Playstation 2 console
Once again Japan gets all the cool things. Like this latest, the Cinnabar Red PlayStation 2. It should be available on July 3rd, for the equivalent of $155 US. Perfect if you love rocking red, or if you have some sort of Hell theme happening. In fact, it would probably be at home in Hellboy’s house. Hell. Damnation. The damned. Red is the color of anger you know. I think it’s affecting me in a strange way.

Creative ZEN PMP gets colorful options
Creative has revealed some snazzy new color options for their ZEN iPod-rival. Behold the eye-catching pink and red versions. These look juicy in bubble gum colors. Other then the color, the PMP is identical to existing ZEN models. So, you’ll get the same 2.5-inch, 320 x 240, 16m color TFT display, choice of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB flash storage and SD/SDHC expansion.

The ZEN also has an FM radio and microphone for voice recordings, is compatible with multiple audio and video formats (MP3, WMA, AAC (. M4A), WAV (ADPCM), Audible 2,3,4, MJPEG, WMV9, MPED4-SP, DivX 4 / 5 and XviD) and has a photo viewer (JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG & TIFF). It can also handle TIVO-to-go files, from PVR. File transfer is with a USB 2.0 connection. Battery life is about 25hrs audio playback or about 5hrs video. Nothing on price or availability yet, but the red ZEN has been seen on Buy.com, the pink is apparently a Walmart exclusive.

New red PSP bundled with God of War
Take it easy PSP fans, we don’t have a release date just yet, but according to Kotaku, a red PSP will be hitting store shelves this summer bundled with God of War: Chains of Olympus. You also get Superbad and a gift certificate for a downloadable PlayStation Store game.

It’s a branded PSP similar to the Star Wars PSP from awhile back. Sure to be awesome news for those of you into God of War and the color red. Personally, I’m not much for this red version. If it were perhaps a bit pinker, I would dub it the Pepto PSP.
