As you can probably guess, Japan's also getting the PSP-3000 in October. The main difference between the Japanese release and the North American release, however, lies in the number of options the Japanese have in grabbing the PSP-3000.

According to a recent press release sent out by Sony Japan, the PSP-3000 will come out in the country on October 16 for 19,800 yen (US$ 183). It'll come in three colors as well - Piano Black, Pearl White, and Mystic Silver - with plans for additional colors in the future.

The Japanese will also get different bundles to choose from, to coincide with the release of three high-profile games. In order of release, these are Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam VS Gundam (November 20), Patapon 2 (November 27), and Dissidia: Final Fantasy (December 18). These bundles will be priced at 24,840 yen (US$ 230), 23,800 yen (US$ 220) and 25,890 yen (US$ 240) respectively.

Those folks who'd like more information on the various bundles and accessories being released for the console can check out the actual press release, which we've linked to below.
