White PS3 comes to Japan October 21st photo

White PS3 slim? Yeah, we knew that was coming. Originally we thought these 320GB HDD versions of the console were coming July 29th, accompanied by a smaller version as well (160GB HDD), but according to Sony's official website (Via Joystiq), the white bundle is now coming to Japan on October 21st. SEXY.

Priced at 34,980 yen ($410 U.S.), this version of the console has not been announced for North America, and in likelihood probably won't be, which is a shame because I'd like to pet it suggestively and murmur sweet nothings. There's also a new pink Dualshock controller, which is slated for a November 18th and will retail for 5,500 yen (About $86 U.S.). That's one pricey controller!

There's also two new PSP colorways coming down the line: a white and blue and a red and black God of War version. These will both go on sale on November 18th for 17,800 yen each ($208). Anyone thinking of importing any of these goodies?

Am I the only one who prefers the look of the original PS3 the most?

Will there be a racist marketing campaign to accompany this?

I think they only use black people in advertising for the PSP. Any racism in any future PS3 commercials is completely perceived coincidence.

I love me some white ps3, but then again, I can imagine it yellowing on me in the succeeding years after the amazement of its sleek white color wears off.

@Colette, maybe Dale can back me up on this, but the prices of things in Japan don't directly reflect what they will be in the states. 34,980 yen translates literally to 410USD, but given that the yen(x100) is more valuable than the dollar currently it's actually more like $349.80 to Japan consumers. The controller, likewise is more like $55.

Strangely enough, Target's had some of the 160gb Ps3's in (black of course). They look exactly the same but have a bigger drive.

Neat white. I like. BUT why in hell is the contorller such a rip off. if this was Microsoft charging you almost 90 bucks for a 50 dollar controller you would have sony fanboys (rhymes with sexualchocolate) commenting on how MS is so greedy and rip off, and blah blah blah. I bought the my last ps3 controller for 30 bucks, no way, no how would i pay 90 for a stupid contoller. Just crazy. BTW: S.C. just kidding...sort of. :)

@Neroisonfire.. Is that true? If so, not bad pricing. It really is sexy. I kinda wish my ps3 was white. But I have the 60 gb model that is still backwards compatible for my ps2 and 1 games...Too bad sony doesn't still make the consoles backwards-i love me some old ps2/1 games.

@neroisonfire -- Well, we can only say what the yen will be worth to the dollar at the time of this writing. Considering how much change has been going on with that lately it's a safe bet to say the price may be slightly different by the time these items come to retail.

How do racist comments make any sense what-so-ever? The Wii is white... The stupidity of the internet sometimes...

@Collete, yea I understand. It seems like the USD keeps going down. I was surprised to see 34980yen = 410usd. I think last year 400usd would get you 36000yen at least.
