Sony is releasing a new limited edition PSP bundle in Japan created in collaboration with fashion brand Jill Stuart , which we had totally heard of before and didn’t have to look up just now for this post. The Jill Stuart Sweet Limited Package includes the new Spring Blossom Pink PSP , a 4GB Memory Stick, and a cleaning cloth and carrying case (or “Limited Porch” as the website names it) by Jill Stuart. It will be released in Japan March 4 for

Since it hasn’t been released there, we had assumed that the only shot our friends in the UK [ Update: We've been told by SCEE that this is coming to all of Europe!] would have at the God of War Collection would be contained inside the monstrous ” Ultimate Trilogy Edition .” However, VG247 has relayed a quote from Sony, stating that “there are plans to release the GOW Collection separately” after all. It’s uncertain just when those plans will come to fruition, but it counts as good news for people who don’t want to lay out the cash for the limited edition box set … or those who would prefer not to have a screaming visage of demonic horror on their mantles. God of War Collection to release separately in Europe [update] originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:00:00 EST.

Click to start the unboxing. Japanese gamers are braving the cold right now, waiting on line to pick up Final Fantasy XIII . Square Enix and Sony have partnered up to create a limited edition bundle that includes a copy of the game, a white controller, and a pink Lightning-emblazoned 250GB PS3 Slim system .

We found out yesterday that the PSP sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3 will hit shelves in the UK on May 28 — following a March 18 debut in japan — and today Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will arrive (via cardboard box, fittingly) at US retail three days earlier on May 25. Although Kojima Productions is at work on a localized English language Peace Walker demo, the Japanese demo , released during Tokyo Game Show ‘09 (and later improved for release on PSN Japan ) is pretty easy to pick up on — and definitely worth playing. We’ve contacted Konami in hopes of confirming a digital release of the game for the same week the physical copies hit shelves, and maybe — just maybe — we’ll get la-li-lu-le-lucky and score a special / limited edition for the States.

Finally, a chance to play Bayonetta for those of us who never got around to setting up Japanese PSN accounts or Sega Passes . Sega announced that the demo for Platinum Games’ torturiffic action game will be available on Xbox Live and PSN, in North America and Europe, on December 3. With this demo, you’ll be able to gauge the limits of your Bayonetta fandom. Maybe you’ll like it enough to buy it

The black Wii system , originally released concurrently with Monster Hunter Tri in Japan , is now in stores across Europe. And Nintendo is doing its best to keep it there, despite increased demand. According to MCV , demand for the console has risen 60% in the last week, and distributor Nindie.com is working “round the clock” to keep shipments going briskly. “Of course it would be wrong to attribute all of this to Black Wii as we’re all starting to see a natural peak season uplift on all hardware,” senior Nintendo product manager Rob Lowe said. But Wii sales have apparently doubled following the release of the smart-looking black system.
