I was browsing the web pages of Yahoo when I suddenly spotted this article about a GOLD PS3. It shocked me that I suddenly said "WOW! What the hell is that!?" The PlayStation 3 is plated with 24 karat gold, which comes complete with two matching controllers and a one-year warranty.

Confusion seems to be Sony's game as the media giant announces a new iteration of its gaming handheld right after the release of the PSP 3000 just a couple of months ago. Dubbed the PSP Go, the unit looks radically different from the tried-and-true aesthetics of the PSP; the PSP Go has a slightly smaller screen which slides up to reveal the hardware buttons and analog thumb stick.


The most shocking changes, though, are the elimination of the UMD slot, replacing it with 16GB of flash memory and the announcement that old and new games will be made available on the Playstation Network. It's still up in the air whether Sony can pull up an Apple and make a successful online app store, but the $249 price of the PSP Go sure ain't going to help. ^_^
