If you have bitterness about Japan's neverending array of colored consoles and portables, this bit will hopefully help to erase some of that simmering hatred. Per filings at the Federal Communications Commission, evidence points to Sony bringing the white PS3 to the good old US of A at the fine price of 39.980 Yen (about $374 dollars.)
The cover letter on file at the FCC shows Sony submitted the console to the FCC and the American Telecommunications Certification Body in October 2007, but asked to have it kept mum for the short term "to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public." Damn Sony and their suspicious behavior. Don't make me take action on your untrustworthy business, you hear?
I would like one as I am a sucker for white, but I am not a sucker for spending another chunk of green just because the new housing is pretty. It looks like the P.Diddy of consoles, doesn't it?

All seriousness. Looks ok, but im wondering if the White Dual Shock / Sixaxis are see through.
I hear the white one has no rhythm and likes american cheese
@Aurain: No the controllers are not see through.
But I would still rather have a red or yellow one....
Whatever happen to making consoles different colors, anyways?
@Collete
I would put out for a red PSP. Especially metallic red.
I buy a car, or shirt based on a color as I put them ON, (or climb inside) The color of my gaming system has no impact on my purchase decision. If it was pink I still would have bought it.
@ RICHARD BLOCKER:
My 360 already matches my PS3, since I have the Elite, OH SNAP!
(Sorry, I had to do it.)
I love the Apple-esque, sterile white! =D
