SimplySchizo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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. Kotaku Also check out the JP Sony Press Release for more details. (thanks pjak) Man, I'd love one in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted July 6, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 6, 2010 The white PS3 looks freakin SWEEEEEET. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySchizo Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 and no doubt it'll be exclusive to Japan. 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? Competition is great, we win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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.

+Mystic MVC Posted July 6, 2010 MVC Share Posted July 6, 2010 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?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalsquad Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Don't like the look of it but pretty obvious why they bumped it up to 320GB :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Still need to dump my phat for a slim before it ylod again. I think I will wait for this white one to arrive. Love the 320gb HDD included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motoko. Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Makes me wonder about the storage capacity of the PS4. 320GB is allot for a game console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inferniac Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 From what I'm reading on engadget looks like the white one won't get the 320GB HDD (at least now), only the black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPyro Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Doesn't really matter. If they do get released they'll cost $350-$400. I only paid $275. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
