If you've been looking to jump into PSP land for personal reasons, perhaps are looking to upgrade to a new PSP-2000 "slim," consider yourself a Star Wars fanboy, or maybe just like white things, the new Darth Vader PSP (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSony-Battlefront-Renegade-Squadron-Entertainment%2Fdp%2FB000UA0LY0%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3D videogames%26qid%3D1191962263%26sr%3D8-1&tag=nokiangagenew-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325) could be just the ticket. The limited edition unit should be on store shelves today, but only comes as part of a $199 bundle which includes the new Star Wars Battlefront game. Of course, we're guessing most people willing to track down a PSP with Darth Vader's likeness silkscreened on the back aren't going to balk at playing a little bit of Battlefront now and then.

I'm sure that the premier of the new Star Wars Family Guy episode will sell a few of these :)

Finally!!! Now I'll be picking up a PSP Slim. I didn't want to get a black one because they look to similar to the original phat ones so a new color will really show off the sleekness of the PSP Slim.

its a rip off! NO msd??? NO headphones, all you get is a silkscreen of d.vader and the game for 199? not worth it! at least the daxter pack had the family guy video and 1 gig of msd.

I normally love anything that’s got the Starwars name to it (plus the new PSP Battlefront Renegade squadron game is brilliant online), but this Starwars themed PSP just looks very tacky to me... It’s like “oh look at my Darth Vader chav tattoo style PSP”. lol

[Veskgar]

Yeah, this just didn't do it for me. First off, I was immensely disappointed when I learned that they were going to make the Star Wars pack use the WHITE PSP. How do you try a Vader theme with the color white?

Any true Star Wars aficionado will understand that Vader signifies black, or "the dark side".

I'm also mad that alls that this is is a cheap battery cover replacement with a Vader helmet painted. I feel they should have went the Crisis Core route and done a little more to make this a unique PSP.

They should have used a mix of Black & Crimson Red as well as a few more things to make this a cool custom Star Wars PSP.

And again, its white... WTF! Its just my opinion but I never cared for the White color for PSP. I am very happy with the silver-metallic PSP that comes in the Daxter pack.

I'm a bit of a Star Wars freak which is why I feel so angry that they didn't do more. Maybe for most people just having a different battery cover will be a big bonus.

Hey, just picked this pack up. New Battlefront game has better control scheme. Just thought I'd let you guys know it starts at Ver. 3.60 and the Battlefront game only needs 3.51, so those on 3.52 m33 and 3.71 m33 don't need to worry about this game. No, it doesn't come with a memory stick, or a PSP soft case, or a UMD case (just a piece of crap cardboard/ paper UMD holder). But I already had a white PSP soft case, so that's not an issue. And as for Veskgar's complaint about a white PSP with Darth Vader on it... what color would Darth Vader's helmet be if it was a black PSP? Besides, most PSP's are black, so it's nice to stick out a little without voiding a warranty.
