Stop looking at the PS3, the PS2 is not yet dead, I repeat it is not yet dead! The sheer amount of games that are still coming out is one of the testament to this fact and so is this: The new Limited Edition Pink Playstation 2!

The new Pink edition of the PS2 will come with a pink 8MB memory card and two pink analog Dual-Shock controllers. This announcement was made for the European market and the new Playstation 2 model will be available starting November 8 (across Europe).

“PlayStation 2 is the accessible, affordable way to enjoy new social, communal and interactive entertainment experiences, through software titles like SingStar, Buzz and EyeToy”, said Dan Hill, PlayStation 2 European Brand Manager. “The Pink PlayStation 2 is funky, fresh, and fashionable, and will further broaden the console’s continuing popularity and relevance with a fun new twist”

Social gaming huh? Sounds like the Wii will be coming in at the right time! Perhaps it's a battle of the PS2 with its new funk vs. Nintendo's new console? Stay tuned until we finally see the Wii out in the streets!

As a sidenote, I was able to find out that Sony will also come out with a pink version of the PSP.

Sony's Stephane Hareau, the PSP senior brand manager says that:

"Our collaboration with P!nk will reflect the shared values between the artist, PlayStation and all the young women with freedom, confidence and attitude. The exclusive and exciting P!nk content made available in this Limited Edition will let young women discover the entertainment potential of PSP beyond gaming. PSP is not exclusively for men, there is a PSP for everyone, and whoever you are, PSP can fit into your life."

The Pink PSP is scheduled for release on October 27.
