Western gamers might soon have a choice of colours of the PS3, as reports suggest White PS3s are being shipped to US retailers to go on sale next month.
Circuit City employees reported receiving new shipments of PS3, supposedly replacing the Spider-Man 3 bundle, sporting the model number CECHH01.
This, as Kotaku points out, is the serial number for White PS3s, recognisable from previous filings to the Federal Communications Commission in US for the white console.
If indeed true, it's speculated that these consoles will go on sale in March, although Sony has yet to officially confirm anything.
As expected, Sony UK has told CVG it has "no plans to release the White PS3 in the UK at this time."
hope the white one isnt jinxed like the crapbox 360
That wasn't too bad, 11 posts before the invitable cretinous fanboy comments start!
Seriously though I doubt we'll get a white PS3 (why would anyone want one anyway, black goes better with most tvs) till Sony decides that the European market needs a boost after all Sony s**t on Europe all the time!
I think the white console is ugly, doesn't suit the PS3. What's more interesting is the MGS4 bundle console -- it has an 80GB HDD. So does this mean it's the full-fat PS3 that can play PS2 games, or is it just a larger hard drive?
