PSP - An Antique Piece, Is it?

Ever since there had been a notion that Bronze and Gold Gadgets wouldnt do that well when it comes to the Sales Department. So releasing a limited-edition Matte Bronze PSP from Sony is surely gonna make some heads turn. The Sony had been shouting that only 60,000 pieces would be brought out in Japan for sale. And that would cost each about $230 (You do the Match, he he he , 23,800 Yen) and say what, the bundle includes a TV-out cable for the very first time. But, its advisable to get a TV-out Cable from external sources and get a PSP rather than stuffing the Matte Bronze PSP which would look like You are playing on Granma’s PSP. But, if you love it, do go and get yourself one. We would love to hear from you with some pics too.
