SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES

CASH MONEY CHAOS™ FOR THE PSP® SYSTEM

Retro Arcade Game Play Combined With an Action-Packed, Twisted Game Show Scheduled to Rock the PSP(R) System In Early 2007

 

SAN DIEGO, CA – August 9, 2006 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE), a global leader in the online games industry, today announced Cash Money Chaos™ for the PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system. Cash Money Chaos (CMC) is expected be available in Q1 2007 for the suggested retail price of U.S. $29.99.

 

            "Cash Money Chaos is an action-packed, arcade-style shooter that explodes a new genre onto the PSP," said Chris Sturr, Senior Global Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment. "CMC will have players scratching their heads, asking themselves if they really just saw – and shot – what they think they did. Of course, taking your hands off the controls to scratch your head may be detrimental to surviving the next wave of killer gorillas or demented clowns."

 

CMC contains more than 50 hyper-fast levels, from circus tents to swamps to medieval settings, where players will grab cash, prizes and weapons as they unleash torrents of destruction upon their foes. Set to a hardrocking soundtrack, players will annihilate alien chickens, mutant hillbillies, and homicidal clowns, in addition to tackling monster bosses, such as the enormous bearded lady and her cadre of deadly unicyclists.

 

CMC will also take full advantage of the PSP system's network capabilities, delivering both local and internet games for up to eight players, allowing them to bash their way through the game cooperatively or to compete against each other in prize-laden death matches. CMC is a futuristic and brutal experience with a sarcastic sense of humor. 

 

About Cash Money Chaos

After being captured by an alien race, you struggle through their idea of a twisted 70's game show to save yourself and the human race.  With over 50 blood-filled and body part-laden levels, CMC puts you right in the middle of a televised free-fire zone with two goals: get the cash and survive to the end. Featuring wickedly fast-paced, arcade-style action in a fully 3D world, you will fight dozens of enemies at once as you fight to stay alive. CMC's multiplayer functionality allows up to eight friends to wirelessly team up or compete against each other in exciting online scenarios. As you kill enemies, they drop both cash and prizes to help you finish your goal. CMC is a futuristic and brutal experience with a sarcastic sense of humor.
