Super colorful PS3s spotted for a king's ransom photo

Yesterday I reported on the sighting of a white PS3 in the wild, but today comes news of an entire rainbow of Sony consoles -- an unofficial rainbow, of course. At first, we were merely alerted to the presence of a rather fetching yellow PS3, posted on eBay and currently available for an insane US $1,980.0. You thought the original PS3 was expensive? Try one the color of custard.

The XSS Corporation isn't stopping at banana PS3s, however, and is currently selling a Red, Blue, Pink, and Green version of everyone's favorite third generation Sony console. They all cost the kind of money that only a fool or a nobleman would pay, so if you want one, you better get really rich or really stupid. Preferably both.

I'm not even sure how good they'll actually look, considering the pictures appear to be conceptual designs only. If you really need a bright PS3 that badly, I'd suggest you just crack out the spraypaint and give it a go yourself. You'd still feel pretty dumb, but a damn sight smarter than the fool who bids on any of these things.

I like the idea of coloured PS3s but what is with that price? Is it some kind of paint that gives of hallucinogenic fumes when you turn on the console, allowing you to feel, taste and absorb the gameplay into every fibre of your being? If not, they can fuck right off!

A friend of mine got his pimped out with some decals he bought online. Lightning running across the top of the console. Looks very professional. I think it was a tenner.

I hate this color on everything but mustard (and that includes sports cars)...it’s even dumber on a PS3.

Oh wow, they finally sold this? It was $20,000 before, and had an ad saying it had a 200GB 7200rpm hdd, which made it TWICE AS FAST.

Can't believe they remove that and put it up again..

Buying a PS3 and in a stupid colour. Maybe Darwin was wrong.

Yellow? Are you fucking kidding me? Yellow is perhaps the ugliest color there is when it comes to applying it to things such as vehicles and consoles. It should be a crime to make shit like that.

Anyway, black was good enough, no one is going to be more inclined to buy a PS3 based on it's color.

That is a disgusting yellow. How about figuring out how to make it less black to lower the cost?

Hmm... the controller actually looks neat in yellow. Regarding the system -- I agree with Hollywooda.
