Three new colors confirmed for the UK

Looks like Sony is taking a few pages out of Nintendo's sales strategy book -- lots and lots of colors! 

The DS already has an array of bright colors on the market for consumers to choose from, which really doesn't make your DS any more special than the million others out there no matter how hard you believe that to be true.  Now Sony is following suit with some new colors for their PlayStation Portable.  Apparently, the new shades will give your PSP-3000 more personality to the "world's most stylish handheld entertainment system," on top of its already "incredible gaming and entertainment" capabilities.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced today the addition of three new PSP colors to the UK market.  Mystic Silver and Pearl White should be available some time this month, and Radiant Red will be making its debut in March.

    I wonder why they didn't do this sooner, every device that's popular has tons of colors to choose from: ipod nano, cell phones, DS, hell even laptops are starting to be that way. Good 'ol Sony, the Henry Ford of today!

    My PSP is missing an analog stick, the laser is weakened to the point of not being able to read UMDs, and it's missing plenty of pixels from the screen.

    I wonder if it will come in orange. :\

    "Colors" fopr the UK market? Bit of an oxymoron.

    What's up with the fancy names. Don't people use normal old Scarlet or Cerulean. I hope they make an orange one though.
