Pink PlayStation 2 announced

PS2 News | Coming to Australia next week.
Sony Australia has today announced that it plans to be bring the pink PlayStation 2 to Australia, with the console to be made available from March 15th. The machine comes with two pink analogue controllers and a pink memory card.

The console was originally announced for the UK back in August, but it's pleasing to know Australia won't miss out on all that pink. With social gaming franchises like Buzz! and SingStar quite popular with the females [And you, you big blouse - Ed], a pink console is likely to be a hit.

"Games such as SingStar have really heightened the appeal of the PlayStation 2 for a whole new diverse audience, who may not previously have considered themselves ‘gamers’," said Raoul Bedford, Director of Marketing at Sony Oz. "PlayStation is all about fun and with more and more people, especially women, enjoying a night in with the PlayStation 2, the introduction of this pink version gives them a new and colourful option when purchasing the console."

it feels as if its a waste of money and time for them to push out a new colour just to get a handful of female players which like singstar? i know a few female gamers and they would cut me for trying to make them buy pink >.>

I already have three PS2s around the house. I have no need for the pink one. I actually dislike the "PS2Slim". I much prefer the original model. Despite these two issues I will still buy this.

Why? Because its Pink.

Pink >*

Sony could release a PS2 that has actual dog crap glued to the console as a skin and people would still buy one!

I need a new PS2 since the PS3 we are getting is a little retard clone of the real thing... and just because I would never wear pink does not mean I would not buy a pink console.

Well, maybe.

Yeah, I'll grab one. Why not? At least I've got a fresh one once I get my PS3, so I'll just sell the ol' launch-day brick.

Been there, I told my Ex she was just a bad cliche.
