Ceramic white Sony PSP (PSP-1000KCW)
Juniper Foo | Jul 22, 2005
What is it about virgin white that turns tough tech geeks into slobbering dweebs? Apple probably stumbled on that little secret while intelligence gathering for project iPod. Now Sony PSP has gone the same route with a white-as-snow version. We know at least one member of our Reviews team is seeing red and braining himself for being an idiot buying the black PSP, not least because the white unit--revealed at yesterday's PlayStation Meeting 2005--will sport additional accessories plus an updated version of the operating system. As we understand it, this will allow users to surf the Net, access TV via Sony Communications Networks, and support playback of WAV (Linear PCM) audio, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video, ATRAC3 and MP4 (AAC) stored on a Memory Stick. Those green with envy that Japan will (naturally) lay hands on the white PSP first had better cross their fingers Sony's white incarnation makes it to this tiny corner of the world. For those holding onto the black set, there's one teeny consolation. We've learned that Sony will be releasing a PSP software upgrade in Japan as early as next week which will allow the handheld to surf the Net.

Time to put the black PSP on hardwarezone again. PSP selling cheap! lol... anyway, its true, white is currently the cool colour to have, tho its a bit on the unpractical side, coz its tough to keep clean. The software upgrades are welcomed.

Just bought 1, the feel and look is better than the black version. Screen res wise is much much more sharper and clearer, could be because the "background"(the whole psp) is white.
