Pink PS2 heads down under

The pink PlayStation 2 is finally making its way down under. Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCEA) has confirmed that the pink-coloured PS2 will make its local debut on March 15, 2007.

The pink PS2, which debuted in the UK late last year, will retail for A$249.95 ($194) and will come with two pink controllers and a pink Memory Card.

In a statement, SCEA said the pink PS2 was being brought to Australia because games like the SingStar and Buzz series had diversified demand for the console down under, particularly from female audiences. "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," SCEA director of marketing Raoul Bedford said.
