Does it even matter. Are any serious gamers really going to care what color the console is? I think I would rather buy the basic color with 60gb hard drive, instead of the fancy white one with 40gb hard drive.
I prefer horsepower over cosmetics everytime.

Now this just isn't fair. I really ant the ds3 controller. Maybe it'll work with U.S. ps3's. The white is really what ticks me off. It's the time that we are getting the ds3!

I think there is a chrome case that you can buy to replace the black one. I think I saw it on ebay, not real sure though.

Did everyone else ignore the price tag ($341 USD) which is cheaper than ANY OTHER PS3 OUT RIGHT NOW! Oh, and it comes with a Blu-Ray movie and new controller. Another reason for North America and Europe to boycott Sony!

$341 is so much cheaper than 20gb 360 with HD-DVD add on. I'm starting to root for blu ray now.

For some reason different color systems has always appeal to Japaneses gamer.I wonder will the U.S. see the Navy blue or silver PS3 that was at E3?

XCM makes a chrome faceplate, along with some other colors. I'm not sure if it requires opening the console to install it. XCM makes some sick mods for all consoles. The Wii chrome is by far my favorite. Unfortunately, you have to void the warranty to install some of these cases. If you chip your system, then it's no big deal I guess. I just wish these console manufacturers could give people more of a selection from the start. Customization is a plus for me!

I'm loving what Sony has done with the price of the system and hopefully it will be the same for the U.S. Damn the B/C thats the least of my concerns just put out a few good titles and im sold.

Jump the gun much? The Ps3 had a price cut since the 20 gb was discontinued its only natural that it would be cheaper that the 20 gig. And if any noob thinks that a 20 gig gain in hard drives are expensive they should do some homework.
The reason they're releasing it like this is because they want to product test the dualshock 3 controller for the NA and Europe market, that's why everything is released in japan first. And our bundles come with the same stuff
White omg big deal. It's nice I'll admit but its not a huge deal; just a marketing ploy based off the white fad going around so they get more ps3's out the door and better product testing. As soon as my 1 year warranty is out the door I'm going to put a transparent blue case on mine with some blue LED's in it anyway.

Well the 20gb was here in the US and barely lasted the holidays at $499, which is the same price the 60gb was brought down to before they launched the 80gb at $599. What I'm trying to say is, I don't think there's a chance in hell of the US getting a PS3 (no matter what's stripped out of it) for the $399 or lower price range anytime soon.
It appears that Japan gets a cheaper product than US and Europe, and maybe that's the reason it sells there, other than the brand loyalty to Sony.

The color it is unimportant, to sell those machines they need GOOD GAMES no different color machines, they are not an ornament.

Only $350 US for a white ps3? Thats pretty cheap to me, when they figure out how to get backup games on it, I'll most likely buy one.
