Sony might release a white PS3, but they might not

Blast Magazine writes:

"Our friends at CrunchGear diligently dug into FCC filings to find out that Sony is exploring the possibility of adding a ceramic white PlayStation 3 to their lineup.

There's even plenty of photos to show that this is a serious possibility, and Sony Computer Entertainment America tells BLAST it's a possibility, but not to bet on one way or the other just yet."

People don't careee for a white ps3! Cut the pricee already!!

[Yi-Long]

... as it's absolutely gorgeous, and much better looking than the black version.

However, I already bought a black version, and I wont buy 2 PS3's.

They should have released the white PS3 and the Silver PS3 from the get-go here in Europe, instead of only in Asia.

Same goes for the PSP's btw. Ah well, I bought a nice pink PSP in Hong Kong.

[Statix]

Why not both?

[PwnShop]

But once you go black you never go back

[uie4rhig]

Spiderman did :P

[Panthers]

I would consider selling mine for this one. But mine has full BC so...

[majorsuave]

I don't really mind the color, the case design needs a change, it's fugly.

[Tidus11]

it would be awesome if they bundled it with White Knight Chronicles to promote the game. They could do a limited edition version like MGS4.

[Sony PlayStation 3]

A white PS3 would be nice but for some reason the black PS3 in my avatar is so much nicer to look at.

[Revvin]

What PS3? oh, oh yeah there was one there :)

[sonic1989]

i'm looking for a silver ps3, but i wouldnt mind geting a white ps3.

[interrergator]

hope they release the slimer version of a ps3

[demoneyeslaharl]

Black's classier. But hey... white's good too. Why not add PS3 white with the White Knight Chronicles bundle when it comes out in the West?

[Eiffel]

That may be a intended purpose for the possible white console.

[Faztkiller]

if they did i would sell mine and buy one

[Eiffel]

You would sell your PS3 just for a different colored one.

Guess there is no such thing as a smart buyer.

[No FanS Land]

Just buy a new PS3 case on internet. You can even make the color combination you want!

[dragunrising]

Only reason I would sell mine to get this one would be if there were significant hardware changes that improved energy savings even more. Not sure how soon Sony will move from 65nm chips to 45nm though...

If anyone could provide a link to a good case mod site, it would be much appreciated. Happy New Year btw :-)

[Faztkiller]

i could sell it for more than i gave for it
but have not b/c it is a bc 60 gig but for a white one i would b/c
i dont play ps2 games anyway

[Bathyj]

You know I might make a sandwich. But then again I might not.

[BRACHATTACK]

Beat me to it, i was going to type the exact same thing.

[Bathyj]

But then again, maybe you weren't.

[BRACHATTACK]

xD

[gamesmaster]

hah that made me laugh, bubble for bathyj.

[Bathyj]

Ha, thanks, bubble back at ya. Plus one for Brach, I love people that use the word Zing.

[baum]

But then again, they may not. :P

[farhsa2008]

exactly, what the fvuck is the point of writing this article without any backup? However a white ps3 would go nice with my white DS.

[MrWonderful]

i already have one. its sexy but looks out of place in my entertainment stand. so i put it in th bedroom

[farhsa2008]

are you talking about the white DS3? Because i did exactly the same thing and put it in my bedroom.

[militant07]

I love white electronic stuffs its look hot. also its look cleaner and its will look better when its placed new WII/360 both of them white

[TheMART]

Jees... Already announced in 2005 to come in 3 colours, Sony once more overpromised and underdelivered.

I wanted the White PS3, but Sony took too long, when LBP pack arrived I decided to go for the black one. But its sad. I also had to import a white PSP Slim because Sony didn't release it back then overhere in The Netherlands. Recently they have but still.

SLOWNY GET YOUR ACT STRAIGHT.

Besides the colours you should introduce a pricecut real fast.

[Mr PS3]

Waiting for the White PS3
or
Waiting to get your Xbox back after it's RRoD on your Silly Little BoT Ass

[PirateThom]

Well, you'll be happy to know they released black, white, satin silver and gun metal grey versions of the PS3.

[TheMART]

Tommy

What have you got on alcohol last night?

They didn't release any other colours then black outside Japan.

I can't buy a white or silver PS3 overhere with normal warranty. Like I said, I imported my white Slim PSP from Japan, but only because those things don't break down that much.

The PS3 on the other hand... I am glad I got it in a shop overhere with full warranty, so that when my BluRay laser died after just 3 weeks I could return and get a new one.

Imagine that sending the PS3 back to Hong Kong. No thanks.

It's SLOWNY allright. Those other colours aren't in the shops in Europe, USA, Australia etc etc. Like Sony is always overpromising & underdelivering.

[ultimolu]

Jesus Christ Mart, if you're not bashing them to death over games, you're bashing them to death over color. I still don't see what Sony has ever promised to begin with. Name me the things Sony has promised because I have never heard them promising anything. In some parts they did underdeliver but good grief...be thankful for what you have.

If you hate the PS3 so much, then sell it.

[ambientFLIER]

I would imagine that waiting years for a white PS3 is worse than waiting two weeks for your xbox to come back.

[evilmonkey501]

I personally own a grey ps3 that was purchased at wall mart in Wisconsin, united states of America...not japan....plus if you really want a different color go here : http://www.colorwarepc.com/...

[ph3lid]

Sony, nobody cares about what you say!

first deliver .. then promise!

[Fishy Fingers]

Read the article, this info was found within FCC filings, Sony aren't announcing, nor promising anything.

[Droid Control]

They should keep it in black and focus on making it smaller instead...

[PwnShop]

It was in a winning eleven bundle and its the exact same color as the photo.

[devilhunterx]

Forget White, get PINK out, and then see the girls go crazy. Really dont get the magic behind that colour

[Sony PlayStation 3]

"pink" is an amazing object

[BRACHATTACK]

Still, anything looks better than cheap gray plastic, doesn't it Xbots? xD

[Eiffel]

360's are gray? Someone needs to get their eyes checked.

[dukadork2]

it's not technically gray, it's more like: milky puke

[dragunrising]

I would buy a white PS3 in a heartbeat. Bundle Killzone 2 with it and Sony will sell 1 million PS3's in Feb/March.

[Fishy Fingers]

Quite nice looking. But I'll always prefer black. I like all the units to match (TV, DVD, surround sound), a white unit would be to garish for me.

[Magic_The_Celt]

i might put on a condom when i screw your mum, but i might not

[Faztkiller]

Lol
My 360 might rrod but it might not?
who am i kidding of course it will

[Ryangp]

Racist sony are at it again!

[AriesFury]

They can hardly sell the black ones and they are thinking of this?

[NipGrip]

Is hardly selling? Get out of here with that crap please.

[Mutley416]

They need to add more SKu`s-
+ Hardrive options
This is the stuff that could set them apart-

and Yah Y does it have to be white!!! LMAO That`s Racist!!!
is this one gonna work better...lmao j/k I`m no racist..just a joker...yah cracker as@ CRACKER!!!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

What's with the recent influx of stupidity in the gamer zone?

[ChampIDC]

Makes you wonder why some of these people even have any bubbles at all, right?

[FantasyStar]

You guys do know that Mutley's post was a satire of the last time Sony made a "white" anything right? Most likely the White PSP, and the ad that followed it in Germany, or was it Belgium: I forget.

Anyway, here's the link: http://www.joystiq.com/2006...

[ChampIDC]

Consoles are always white, black, grey, or silver. So boring. At least N64 had different colors. I had transparent purple, haha.

[Radiodread]

jeese everytime you can't take a hint, so someone else has to tell you to f!ck off.

[AriesFury]

So, 360 outsells the PS3 3 to 1 and the Wii outsells them both. You're telling me that the PS3 is selling well? You get out of here with that crap.

[ChampIDC]

So what happened to the many months earlier in the year that the PS3 was outselling the 360? You're talking about 1 month, and the economy + price cut = lots of sales for MS. The PS3 is doing mighty fine for its higher price point if you ask me.

[AriesFury]

No I'm taking about a whole. The 360 has been outselling the PS3 not just this year but the year before that.

[NipGrip]

Sony sales. Not 360 sales vs Sony sales, unless that is how you judge something's individual success. Sony PS3 sales are very good. The 360 sales are outstanding. Nintendo Wii's sales are phenomenal. Does everything have to be a "war"? Can it not be ok to say despite which is outselling the other, they are all three selling very well? Any way you cut it, 18 million consoles in 2 years is very, very good.

I guess BMW is failing as it doesn't sell as many units as Honda.

Someone who makes $250,000 a year is a failure as there's someone out there making $500k a year.

You judge things on their individual successes, not solely against competition. Unless it's DIRE, which the situation is not. So yea, selling 18 million consoles in 2 years (an average of 9 million per year) is great especially since it's competition has been out a full year ahead of it and is ahead by what? 7 million units? All 3 consoles are doing very well, get over it.

[ChampIDC]

Well said Nip. Not everything has to be a battle here. The entire gaming industry is booming right now, because it's one of the most cost efficient forms of entertainment out there. Bubbles for you, my friend.

Edit: Disagrees? So apparently the entire gaming industry isn't doing well? Ok, just keep thinking that the console you hate is failing, fanboys.

[NipGrip]

Some people don't want to enjoy gaming with other gamers that play on other consoles. They are too angsty and want this "console war" so they can't just agree that everything is great for gamers right now no matter what system you own.

360 - Doing fantastic.
Wii - Doing fantastic.
PS3 - Doing fantastic.

What on Earth is wrong with saying that and being happy?

[silverchode]

fvck white, i red ps3 would be better

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I agree.

A red PS3 with Kratos on it would be even BETTER than that though.

Anyone remember when PSM was giving away 2 Devil May Cry themed PS3's? Who owns those? I'd pay thousands!

[firebat]

that is the stupidest tittle ever

[xg-ei8ht]

PwnShop

Once you've had white

Everythings alright.

[lh_swe]

I just love how iffy that statement is; if we sell enough we'll make a white one. whats enought and whats stopping them now.
Sony get your marketing act TOGETHER, NOW!

[anubis12]

white...you have to wipe it down so much...you will be the white ps3s bitc*

[Dont Panic]

Already got my white Dualshock from play asia, and Colorware will do the rest. But why don't they just release the different colors at launch world wide? Hmmm....

[magqcc7]

Sony needs to first fix the ones they have out now. I got the dreaded yellow light of death two weeks ago. I thought it was just me until I checked youtube, and found out the truth. They (Sony) needs to take a page out of MS's book and extend their warranty. Then bring out the white one.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Do you really think Obama's going to approve this one?

[xOohSoSiKWiTiTx]

Was there suppose to silver, white, and a black ps3 with the boomerang controller at launch? Or did people forget?

[Revvin]

I don't see the big need for a white PS3 or a PSP of whatever colour. The were launched as black units, its kind of iconic like the XBOX is white. The Elite never quite looked right and MS never really got behind the different colours else there wouldn't be a lack of a black wireless unit (considering this hooks onto the back of the unit is a bad omission) no black camera, no black remote, no black memory cards, no black chatpad and no black wireless headset. Just launch the console in one colour and be done with it.
