PS3 Slim to come in White w 160GB HDD


Recommended Posts

There are new versions of the PlayStation 3 coming, with new hard drive sizes and new colours.

And as is custom, they're hitting Japan first.First things first: in Japan, the PS3 will cease to be made available in 120GB and 250GB sizes, and instead come in 160GB and 320GB versions.

These new models will be released in Japan on July 29, and for the first time will see the PS3 Slim available in two colours: the existing black and "Classic White".The 160GB model will cost ¥29,980 (USD$340), while the 320GB version will retail for ¥34,980 (USD$400).

As of now, details on this expansion to the PS3 range have been confined to the Japanese market; we'll update should we hear anything of Sony's plans for the PAL regions or North America.

Also check out the JP Sony Press Release for more details. (thanks pjak)

and no doubt it'll be exclusive to Japan. I'm happy to be proven wrong but we are still waiting for the white PS3 phat..(or did that finally get released in the west? I never saw it here in Australia) so this seems even less likely to happen.

I highly doubt it. Though they'll surely be released first in JP, only a matter of time before they reach overseas.

They're just trying to answer for the 360 going black. Only logical they answer with a white version now, right? laugh.gif

Competition is great, we win!

the white one does look nice but not sure if id fork out 340 dollars for a second ps3 especially with some of the xbl features available now. as a media center, i liked the ps3 more but lately, the xbox with last.fm has been doing a great job.

Bleh am I the only one that loves matte black over matte white? It isn't just that it wouldn't match anything but it would show damage, scruffs, etc easier (see Xbox 360).

Regardless, this will sell like hotcakes because Sony and Nintendo have perfected console revisions over the years: make them slightly smaller each time and offer multiple colors. Sony would never be as tacky as Nintendo is with how many colors it offers its systems in even if they do sell more (Nintendo DS anyone?).

They already made fat white ones for asia they didnt release for the rest of the world, doubt this will be different. I remember there always being exclusive PS2 colours in Japan aswell last gen they never released else where. :(

Makes me wonder about the storage capacity of the PS4.

320GB is allot for a game console.

If it's 2TB, I will be w00t.gifyes.gifbiggrin.gifohmy.gifcool.gif

Your avatar was an expression in itself :laugh:

If I were to guess 500GB and 1TB drives in 2 years time (assuming Capcom is correct in its assumptions)

Looks nice, but just bought a black slim :wacko:

So wait, 360 goes slim and goes black, PS3 goes slim and eventually goes white.

Innit :blink:

Yeah, but I'm different like that.

Who's the guy in your avatar?

Is it Alan Harper from 2.5 Men?
