LOL! I saw this too and was like WTF? But they have another one with the black chick over the white chick. They\'re just colors, dude. I think these ads ARE trying to stand out, though. There\'s always bound to be people overanalyzing stuff like this.

Either that or the Japanese have a sick sense of humor.

Here\'s the OTHER pic:

Doesn\'t seem as bad, does it?

^ That\'s RACIST. That black woman is totally beating the crap out of a white woman. I\'m offended.

I know. I mean...that ad just screams "Kill Whitey!"... Pffffffft.

pretty creative advertising I think... what better way to stir up conversation about your product than to do something "edgy", although I laugh at people who get all bent on racism with these ads...

Cool. A white PSP. Maybe now they\'ll work. The black one just sits there and whines that it doesn\'t have enough memory.

Oh Snap!

Just for funny:

Sony\'s just looking to stir up a reaction, which is exactly what\'s happening.

I\'ll bite anyway.

It brings up racist connotations but to say the ad itself is racist is technically wrong. Just shows two different looking people fighting, technically. :>

I\'M OFFENDED?!

WHY CAN\'T I GET A BROWN PSP?!?!

It is racist...against everybody that isn\'t white/black!!!

What about a YELLOW PSP????

Maybe people would think the black chick is having her way with the white chick? Maybe that\'s just my perverted mind.

I took it as it is. Psp is originally black, white version is coming. Which I wouldn\'t buy even if I had the choice to begin with. Black is sexy. Some people get offended so easily and look for crap that isn\'t there. They give power to something that had none to begin with... it\'s a friggin psp ad.

Meh, the Nintendo fans my go out and buy it.
