We're not exactly sure why these unboxing videos have become all the rage. We all know what's inside them, but for some reason, we just can't get enough of seeing the "clothes" come off of our favorite electronic devices. Take for instance the newest unboxing of a white 40GB PS3 and white DualShock 3, which is set to the Scorpions' amazing "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and easily adds at least 100 points to the Cool 'O Meter.

Of course, the white PS3 is only available in Japan and Korea right now, and while there hasn't been an announcement of it making its way to the West, we're sure it's only a matter of time until its arrival.

So what are your plans for the white PS3 rumoured to be hitting America real soon?

I wouldn't get it in white, my TV is piano black and it has a finish on it that complements the PS3.

White looks dead sexy but as I've found with my DS and Wii after buying no matter how well you keep it it'll still end up some yellowy colour. I think sunlight is the biggest killer, at least with black you're safe and it looks always as new. My xbox seems to have faired alright, I guess cus it's matt white instead of glossy.

But then again I'm just being anal, you buy consoles to play games, not to look good under your tv. But it does help.

White just gets really grungy after a while.

And I can just imagine how grimey the controller would look after some good hard use.

Not to mention, my black PS3 goes with everything else I own electronics wise.

Black TV, Glass computer desk with black steel, Black computer, Black Speakers, etc.

I'd get a white one for 2 reasons.

1) The black one is a dust collector and I hate visible dust.

2) The PS one was white and it was the first Playstation I ever got. (Skipped the 1)

It was actually light grey,

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
