Japan Gets Wireless Dual Shock And White PlayStation 3
That's the way to sell the 40Gb
PlayStation 3s keep popping out of the woodwork this week. The latest news is that a 'ceramic' white PS3 will be making an appearance in Japan on November 11th at a recommended retail price of 39,980 yen (£168.25).
Sony explains that, "The new PS3 is equipped with a 40GB hard disk drive (HDD) and comes in two colour variations of, "Clear Black” and newly introduced “Ceramic White” to meet a variety of users’ lifestyle and preferences."
Then along comes news of Rumble - yup, here comes that 'last-gen' rumbling nonsense which, well, we've all wanted to have back.
"Moreover, DUALSHOCK3 Wireless Controller which was revealed at Tokyo Game Show, will become available in the Japanese market on November 11th in two colors of “Black” and “Ceramic White” at a recommended retail price of 5,500 yen (£23.50) including tax.
And Sony is still not letting up on Blu-ray - including as it does the following announcement, "Additionally, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment(Japan)Inc., SCEJ will give a complimentary copy of the original Blu-ray Disc movie, “Spider-Man 3”, to 200,000 purchasers of the 20GB HDD and 60GB HDD models that are currently available in the market from October 17th as well as new PS3 from November 11th as part of its marketing campaign."
We're a little confused as to what "...currently available in the market from October 17th" means. Does it mean that they might possibly not be on the market from October 17th? Or that SCEJ has invented a time paradox modulator? Answers to the Forum please.
No release date is yet available for the UK.

Nice as it looks, not even white could convince me to buy a PS3 now. :( Backwards compatibility is a big deal for me.

It probably means that the Spider-Man 3 offer starts from October 17th. Nit-pickers!
I always fancied a silver PS3, but if they're not to be backwards compatible then I won't be getting one. It may not be a big deal for everyone but it is for enough of us. Good Lord though, it's cheap in Japan

I want one! But it's too late, I definitely can't afford a second PS3!
Buy a PS2, then - that's backwards compatible. It's just not forwards compatible. They come in white, black or silver, with proper controllers as well. Plus, I can find you a deal on a PS2 without the need to remortgage your house.
In fact, let me know if anyone wants to buy my old PS2 off me ;)
