Sony announces new Bronze PSP and additional hardware for Japan

Along with the announcement that Japan will finally be getting Skype for PSP, Sony has announced a new PSP color. The Bronze PSP will be a limited edition and available, it seems, only in a value pack. Doesn't it look a bit familiar? Yes, it does. It's the same color as the upcoming Monster Hunter 2nd G limited edition PSP, but without all the fancy artwork. The only other difference is that it comes out on April 24th, almost a full month after Monster Hunter PSP's March 27th release date.
Sony is also releasing a few other pieces of additional PSP hardware in the region. Namely, a docking cradle and a new D-Terminal AV cable for PSP slims. Both will go on sale on the 24th of April, along with the new PSP. The cradle itself will cost 4,800 ($47) yen and will come with a remote control. Alternatively, you can buy the hardware bundle pack for 6,500 ($63) yen and get the AV cable with it.

Dual colored PSPs would be sweet.

I think they should offer a custom PSP designer, and charge a little extra money for making what you want. That'd be sick.

The bigger news is the 2nd announcement with the new accessories. One of them is a dock with a remote control, there've been 3rd party ones (for the old PSP) but this is the first Sony one I've seen, so it should actually work.

Does that mean they're finally making use of the IR port?

The dock will have it's own IR sensor. (I assume, like all the other 3rd party docks with remotes for psphat did).
The slim PSP's no longer have an IR port.
