Sony Launches 'Aqua' PS2 In Europe

by Rainier on Feb. 6, 2004 @ 9:12 a.m. PST

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today that it would launch a special limited edition Aqua colour version of its PlayStation2. A limited number of units of PlayStation 2 will be available across PAL territories from early March. Additional Aqua accessories will also be available in March including an Aqua Vertical Stand (for PlayStation 2) and a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2).

Following the success of the limited edition, coloured PlayStation 2 in Summer 2002, SCEE has endeavoured to provide consumers with more choice than ever, making its popular PlayStation 2 now available in Satin Silver, Aqua and original Black. The new Aqua PlayStation 2 will make a sophisticated addition to state of the art home entertainment systems and will complement any modern design-led living room environment.

David Reeves, President and COO of SCEE said, "We introduced our Silver Prestige Line PlayStation 2 before Christmas. It proved to be so successful that it was a natural extension to include one other colour to complement the range, and this new limited edition Aqua PlayStation 2 seemed just right for Europe in the Spring time."

The Aqua PlayStation 2 console will include an Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK 2). An Aqua coloured Vertical Stand and Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2) will also be released, offering users the fun of choosing their favourite colour that matches their taste and fits the room decoration.
