Well, as much as this is disappointing, I'm still not that perturbed for two reasons: 1) I already have a black 80GB PS3, and I'm not going to trade it in for a non-BC one with a special color. 2) Austrailia and Europe are getting waaay less than even people in North America right now.

Too bad I won't be buying a PS3 until they announce a new SKU.
I agree with COLLAPSECONTROL...

I don't plan on buying a PS3 anytime soon.

thomasav

I would rather have black... especially if it has full BC compatibility...

@CollapseControl:

I just find it funny how Sony has tried everything they possibly could to cause the PS3 to fail... and they're doing a marvelous job.

Ignatius

heh they probably use lead based paint in the silver ps3 thats why they only sell it in japan

featherblade360

I have no plan to buy the black PS3, why would I want a silver one? They can keep that shit over there!

CollapseControl

Hopefully we get the Ceramic White one also, I know the FCC has approved it, and quite frankly I'm not fond of the Satin Silver, though it does look better than black.

@mphz: *sigh I know man...

@Irenicus-the one and only: Um, just because you don't like it doesn't mean other people are wrong for doing so.

Even if it's not brushed metal (which would take the cake, imo), it's not overly shiny like the PS3 currently is, so it's a winner in my book.

As I think Silver for ps3 and psp or any other console it very, very ugly. I think it makes stuff look cheap and dirt, white and black or any other color is better, maybe not brown but you know.

I hope the scee also skips on this. If people actually want this then I feel sorry for you, but it is for your own good :)

Irenicus-the one and only

Maybe they don't want us to know, should i say new low price. Rumble should be out by now for us.

@Youlikeyams:

Pretty sure their gaming division did make a profit :)

Maybe research before bashing?

ssjmichael

I'm happy with my Black PS3. Matches all my other electronic brothas

PlasmaMachine

and Sony wonder why they don't make a profit.
hell, the EU store is still waiting for Blast Factor's expansion and Everyday Shooter.

Youlikeyams

Wow... Silver.

Allen750

I imagine it'll come in a bundle with Singstar: Emo sometime around summer 2013, probably.

@Kj719: It was the "at least it'll keep you from chirping "when will we get it?" for another 2-3 months" part. :D

Grave

@Shindokie: I'll let you this weekend when I'm home to use it :o)

Kj719

Is it here yet?
No.

Yes! Yes it is!
LIAR!

@Grave: I know you meant it as a joke, but I'm failing to see what ingame XMB has to do with a silver PS3 coming to the States :o/

Kj719

@Kj719: tell me how you like it? its good stuff

Shindokie

Is someone gonna make an ingame XMB comment, or should I?

Oh, I kid. But seriously, guys, if they offered a silver one with the hardware BC I already have in my 60GB, I'd be looking to trade up. Thing looks classy.

Grave

again, its sharp no doubt, but if youre that hung up on it, there're some quality casemod sites out there. White can definitely be done, not sure about this silver though.

TheIrishNinja

im pretty happy with my darth vader black ps3, though still wouldnt mind seeing a satan one..oOops did i say satan..??

@PSN: Lp47: Just imported the white DS3 from Play-Asia, but I'm guessing they'll hit the States when the new SKU drops

Kj719

@ssjmichael: Exactly. Just like the white one is on its way, so too will this. Eventually.

Patience is a virtue.

Luke Plunkett

SSJMicheal ----- is right. US should be getting the white PS3 before the silver one. But what I wanna know is, when can i get my hands on one of these DS3 controllers?

PSN: Lp47

@mariospants:

Why do you people lack logic? Did they ever say they weren't releasing it? They just announced it in Japan. They have their roadmap of when thing's get released. It will show up eventually. Impatient sons of beaches.

ssjmichael

DAMN but that is ridiculous. What are they afraid of? Canibalizing sales because someone's gonna want a silver one instead of a black one?

mariospants

I originally wanted a Silver PS3 and PSP both. But as the odds would have it, all of my electronics ended up going black with silver trim and blue LEDs. Sounds kind of sad that I've got electronics & PC to match a certain color format... but it does look really nice now that I've got several items together.

Niric

Pretty sure the White (or "Ceramic White") is next in line. No skipping Mr Satin Silver!

ssjmichael

@mphz: second this.

Mr-Anderson

Of course there are no plans at this time. Japan gets all the cool crap first.

Sony: "Nah, we don't want to make money on the PS3, haven't you noticed?"
