The Kor Hotel Group has announced it will make Sony PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 gaming systems available as free amenities at four Southern California hotels: Viceroy Santa Monica, Viceroy Palm Springs, Avalon and Chamberlain.

That group of hotels is also known as “Hotels Too Expensive for Layer 8.”

We like this detail: “For all suite bookings, the streamlined PlayStation 2 provides an attractive new upgrade option, with a Game Butler to install and provide tutorials on equipment and games.”

We want a Game Butler: “Jeeves, show us how to bypass the orcs and get to Level 21…and get me another pillow!”

The rich really are different than you and me.
