Sony intros red PS2 and metallic blue PSP for Japan

Filed under: Gaming

Proving once again that old gadgets die hard (some, at least) Sony Japan is introducing fancy new paint jobs for two of its oldest -- and most successful -- products. Come July 3rd, the venerable PS2 will be hitting shelves with a new job, a new outlook on life, and a "red cinnabar" paint job. The refreshed system will run you about ¥16,000 (or around $153). Meanwhile, that metallic blue PSP we've seen is making its way to Japanese gamers on July 17th, sans Madden '09, for ¥23,800 (or $227) for the Value Pack, or ¥29,800 (or $284) for the a decked out bundle including a 1seg tuner, 1GB Memory Stick, and handsome matching carrying case. Check out a closeup of the handheld after the break.

Computex 2008：微軟攤位讓人微軟

是的，你沒看錯，微軟攤位出現AMD的SG，因為AMD幫微軟的Windows Home Server背書，所以現場會有AMD的SG幫忙發傳單（有種微軟偷偷搞外遇的感覺）

回到正題，Annti環顧微軟攤位，只看到「滿坑滿谷」的聰明手機，以及使用微軟平台的硬體，只是，似乎看不到新東西的說，讓Annti實在興奮不起來....

<Computex 2008: Is Microsoft going soft on innovation?>

Easy, easy, we did not put on the wrong picture. Nor is your eyes betraying you. The showgirl in AMD uniform is helping Microsoft promote their products because AMD has officially backed Windows Home Server up.

Apart from the lovely showgirl, it was quite disappointing. Looking around there are loads of smart phones, and hardwares running on Microsoft platform. It was remotely exciting when everything looked so familiar...

You might have a look at all the smart phones if you are interested. Guess all we could do is to take all the pictures and have a smart phone quiz contest.

Philips-Liteon presents several new DVD burners at Computex. There is a super slim external 8X DVD-RW that caught our eyes.
