Limited Edition White 500GB PS3 Bundle Confirmed for North America, Arrives this Month

It was just over a month ago when we let you know about Amazon listing a brand new White PS3 Bundle with 12 months of PlayStation Plus for January 29th, which has since been removed, but it has now appeared on Future Shop’s website, showcasing a January 27th release date and $299.99 price point.

Another PS3 bundle right before this rumored announcement of the PS4? I guess it will sell because it's white...

[dbjj12088]

It's certainly the only reason to buy this bundle. Some people just love white consoles (as opposed to the black look that's dominated this generation's market.

[blitz0623]

I would certainly consider it, but then again it's $300. It's not expensive, but I sure as heck don't need 500GB when I can't even fill up my 80GB BC phat.

I really think it was a mistake not dropping the price of the ps3 and instead just increasing the hard drive space and adding bonuses in the bundles. I would definitely have bought a new PS3 for $200 that doesn't come with anything else.

[ZBlacktt]

You are aware the best selling game console of all time the PS2 is still being sold right?

[UnholyLight]

How is that racist. YOU ARE STUPID, I believe he meant because they PS3 has always been black, that having a "special edition" in white will have people running for it.

Fkin idiots. Talking about you @Greyslash

[vickers500]

Relax, he was joking.

[Greyslash]

It was a joke? Jesus, get the stick out of you ass and learn to laugh a little. Don't take everything so seriously.

[kingjoker34]

lol you sir made my day. Wooosshhh

[AznGaara]

Sucks how the never released the White Slim in the US. It looked much better.

[omi25p]

is that a joke?

Because you cant actually see it....

[profgerbik]

@omi25p Are you joking?

You should get a better TV, Monitor or get your eyes checked because I can see it perfectly.

[omi25p]

yes because a white square on a white background is just so clear.

[alexcosborn]

Very sleek.

[SolidStoner]

relax, it was a joke :D jokes all around us, you joke I joke! everybody is joking!

On topic.. I had Silver PS2, If something happens to my original fat 60 gig ps3, I will be thinking to buy a white one.. that's if ps4 is not over the horizon...

[ftwrthtx]

Nice looking PS3 but I'm not a fan of the new model.

[BringingTheThunder]

it looks ok. i could just do without top loading.

[ftwrthtx]

It's definitely a cheaper build, and I understand the thought process behind it, but I prefer my launch 60GB and my PS3 slim. Both seem to be better built.

[Ryo-Hazuki]

They need to bring over the 12 GB PS3 from Europe so they can match the cheapest price of the 360 instead of bringing over a model that's $300.

[nevin1]

Do you think the 4GB 360 model outsells the higher price 360?

[Ryo-Hazuki]

yes. The majority of people who buy consoles this late in the generation are casuals. No matter if they are getting a good deal or not... entry price matters to them.

[UnholyLight]

I can't believe anyone would be RETARDED enough to buy a 4gb. We have lived in a society long enough with iPods and iPads and game consoles to know that 4Gb means you literally have MAYBE 3Gb of space actually on the console. Which means you would likely not be able to download ANYTHING.

Seriously, even if you're a casual, you're obviously stupid to buy something like this, especially when it's like $100 more for 50x the storage

[profgerbik]

Hi Ryo, I love your games. I still play Shenmue.

[TrendyGamers]

Want!

[TrendyGamers]

And it comes with PS+! Want more!

[b_one]

now we need to wait as someone will call it racist edition

[doctorstrange]

Well as long as Sony doesn't bring back their "White is coming" ads...

[b_one]

Well, US is a strange country... btw comment number 1.1 makes my words about racism outdated.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

nice sony. instead of releasing all these limited editions though, how about releasing a readily available, $199 PS3 and bury the competition once and for all?

[BringingTheThunder]

soon

[execution17]

Do Want!

[dbjj12088]

Could buy a smaller harddrive PS3 and install a bigger one for a lot less money.

[sitharrefus]

For some reason white consoles have that "I WANT" in all of us...... Looks sick btw

[Anzil]

Except the xbox360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrendyGamers]

When it's only available in a Kinect Star Wars Bundle it's a bit of a tough sell.

[dubt72]

They had that skylanders bundle at xmas for like 149/159.

[LarryBraz]

I like the clean look of white consoles. THe xbox never really had white outside of the Star Wars edition. That putty color wasn't white, it was just plain ugly!

[mi_titan27]

The new xbox slim does have a gloss white, but it only has a 4gb hdd

[skrug]

Didnt the xbox 360 launch in white? lol

[FarCryLover182]

Even if PS4 is undoubtedly coming this fall, this is still a good collectors item.

[MadMen]

New model is weak

I like the Mid Model

[DarkBlood]

limited edition? what white is hard to produce or something?

[ExCest]

No?

They only want to make a few of them because they still need to sell the black ones? Calling it limited edition will help it sell?

But naturally, white is more expensive than black?

[DarkBlood]

well the real question i think we should all be asking here is wheres my red ps3 and vita damn it? lol

[ExCest]

That, my young padawan, will never happen on Western shores.

Import one.

[gninja92]

how is it being white more expensive why ? casue they need to clean all the PS bullshit of the outer areas?

[AznGaara]

You know if they kept the sleekness throughout the whole kid instead of going for that lines texture on the top a lot more people would like this.

[josephayal]

Woaa another Gorgeous PS3 Model

[Y_5150]

I'm getting this. It'll look amazing right beside my white Vita. :P

[CaptainPunch]

If this gets released in the U.S. I'll be picking it up.

[gninja92]

HONESTLY this is just a case of "too little too late" they should have had white PS3s alongside the black ones since day one. adding it now. is just a waste instead of adding color schemes and bigger HDDs they could be refocusing efforts on what the community actually requested but i guess its just impossiblle to fix stupid in this day and age when stupidity is more often than not rewarded over ingenuity.

[MYSTERIO360]

A bit late though but i hope Sony go with effective advertising(in North america)in the future to sell their consoles then these limited offers.

[o-Sunny-o]

A kick in the balls! I just bought the 500gb Assassin Creed one. Wow I'm self destruct now.

[PhoenixRising37]

I wish they would spend more time working on the new console rather than thinking of more ways to sell the PS3.
