Released next month, and they all look lovely.

Sony will release a “Cinnabar Red” PlayStation 2, two “Metallic Blue” PSP packs and a PlayStation Eye bundle next month in Japan.

The platform holder will launch the limited edition red PS2 on July 3 at a recommended retail price of 16,000 yen. The light-weight system will feature an in-built AC adapter. In Japan the PS2 is still performing well sales wise - now in its ninth year on the market it regularly runs its successor close in the weekly hardware chart. More than 130 million PS2 units have been snapped up to date worldwide.

Following on July 17, SCEJ will release a “PSP Metallic Blue Value Pack” and a “PSP Metallic Blue 1 Seg Pack.” The limited edition handhelds will retail for 23,800 yen and 29,800 yen respectively. The former is billed as a starter pack, and will come with a pouch, hand strap, cloth, a 32MB memory stick and a D Terminal AV cable so users can watch content on their TVs. The latter pack will ship with the same accessories plus a 1 Seg TV tuner and a larger memory stick. In Japan the PSP has regularly dominated the hardware chart over the last few months. The blue PSPs are the same in color as the Madden PSP pack set to debut in the US in August.

On July 24 SCEJ will also release a PlayStation Eye bundle for PS3. Featuring a PS Eye camera and Memoushon, a software pack containing an image and sound editor and a range of casual games, it will retail for 5,000 yen.

The videogame version of the Score internationals Baja 1000 desert race promises to give gamers a chance to participate in blistering, sun-drenched endurance races without ever leaving their climate-controlled living rooms.

According to Activision, the game features:

Over 90 vehicles across multiple classes… including trophy trucks, class I, motorcycles, ATVs and more – the game challenges players to not only be first across the finish line, but also keep their machine intact! Hyper-realistic dirt and damage modeling in the game means players need to be crazy enough to take chances, but not so reckless that their vehicle is destroyed before the race is over.

Developed by Left Field Productions, the game will be available this fall for the PlayStation 2, Playstation 3 , Xbox 360, Wii and PC. There’s a single, lonely screenshot over on G4tv.
