However, Sony did say that only one of the three new PSP bundles would be available, the limited-edition Daxter PSP Entertainment Pack with a $199.99 USD pricetag.
Included in the package are the new "ice silver" colored Slim PSP, the game "Daxter", "Family Guy – The Freakin' Sweet Collection" on UMD and a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.
"PSP sales have soared since we introduced the $169.99 price point in April, and that momentum will only continue with the launch of the newly designed PSP, which has generated strong interest among consumers since we announced it at E3," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. "With our growing software library, which includes more than 140 new releases in the pipeline this fiscal year, the PSP platform is poised for significant growth. The Daxter Entertainment Pack offers a great opportunity for consumers to jump in to PlayStation Portable experience with content that demonstrates the multi-functionality of the system, all for a great value."
Alongside the launch are a few accessories for the new, updated design, most notably component or composite video out cables to output video from the PSP to any TV.
The two other PSP bundles set for release soon are the "PSP Core Pack", with black slim PSP, AC adapter and battery pack for $169.99 USD and the limited edition "Star Wars PSP Entertainment Pack" which will include the "ceramic white" PSP with a "silk-screened image of Darth Vader on the back of the unit" as well as the game, "Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron". It will be priced the same as the currently available Daxter pack.
