Sony decided together with U.S. retailers to drop the Black Sony PSP-3000 Media Pack we reported about recently. The PSP Pack was already available on pre-order and was supposed to ship at the end of November.
Now the only PSP-3000 SKU is the silver PSP-3000 inside the PSP Ratchet and Clank Entertainment Pack.
In December Sony will release a Piano Black Ratchet & Clank Size Matters PSP Entertainment Pack. Via the official Sony Playstation blog.

What is bothering about this news is that Sony is apparently not planning to release a PSP-3000 console outside of a bundle this Holidays. The PSP-2000 sells for $169.99 and Sony should actually just remove that from the market and replace it with the PSP-3000 at the same price.
