PSPGo in stores today

I’m a fan of the semiotics of silly names for colors. What do “ceramic white” and “piano black” say? Classiness?

   I think that, like a great many consumer electronics color names, ‘ceramic’ white and ‘piano’ black are both basically saying:

   “I’m not made of cheap plastic injection molded by the low bidder. Please believe me?”

   “Piano black” certainly doesn’t scream portable.

3. [shMerker]

   To me “Ceramic white” says “toilet”.

4. [zikman]

   “I really want a piano, but this psp will suffice”

   this thing is fugly

   I don’t know anyone who’s getting one. It’s too pricey, especially considering you can get a PSP-3000 for about $80 less and almost all of the same features.

   I wish Sony luck, but they should have priced this at $149.99 if they wanted people to get interested in it.
