PSP as an Educational Aid?

Sony Japan today announced a strange little PSP bundle, squarely aimed at the kids educational aids market, in an attempt to flog a few more units of its flagging handheld.

Thanks to the tip off from our colleagues over at DigitalWorldTokyo.com for letting us know about
the O-benkyo ('Study') Pack, which includes a white PSP and the usual Value Pack gear (32MB Memory Stick, remote etc) plus the educational UMD title Doko demo isshyo let’s gakko, which roughly translates as 'The Let’s Study Together, Wherever School.'

Still wavering? Perhaps the deal clincher will be the included branded PSP pouch and Biro. ¥28,140 from June 15, if you must know.

'The Let’s Study Together, Wherever School' has to be the best ever name for an edutainment title. If you know of any better, then let us know in the forum below.

We might try to persuade our mums to buy us a white PSP for its educational value now. Although there are two major hurdles to this cunning plan. Firstly, our mums are not Japanese. Secondly, we left school in the 1980s. Bah! Foiled!
