White PS3s headed to US in March?

Units already shipped, according to retail sources
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."

So is it just the colour? Or can I play my PS1 & 2 games again?

The white is hideous so thats not really a loss. I would like a red one (like the red ipods) with some black highlights for buttons and logos etc.

Will they do a pink one, to go along with Home? it could have little flowers and pictures of kittens too. Wink

whats with everyone going to the white colors for the consoles? If I could, Id have gotten my Wii in black.

I'd prefer silver myself, but oddly enough console manufacturers never seem go for that colour. Maybe it would be more expensive or something.

hope the white one isnt jinxed like the crapbox 360 Very Happy

As far as I know, all models play PS1 games.

I have a white console. It's called the Xbox 360 and it oddly enough actually has some good games for it! BURN Laughing

Yeah, thats exactly what my first 360 did.

couldn't resist, I do like my 360 by the way

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?

The PS3 isn't the prettiest console or piece of hardware & in white it become the Elephant man of consoles....
