Makes sense. To have 2 modles, and 3 different colors at launch would just be pure insanity. The less to choose from the better.

That's not really unusual for a console launch...

I kinda sux though because i want a silver one. It would match my whole entertainment center, but i guess i can deal with black.

If it's anything like the 360 launch, many people won't get the premium system that they'll want. Add a choice of colors to the mix, and in the rush to get a system, no one would get the one they want.

Black goes with everything. Why would anyone want any other color? :p

For once I think I can appreciate the 360's faceplate feature...although full case-plastics kits in your favorite colors/patterns would be ideal.

Aside from the added confusion, what is wrong with shipping ONE hardware model and then getting a chance to CHOOSE which drive you wanted. (the 'core system' could come with a 20GB HD "credit" that could then either be used to snag a 20GB drive or pay the 'upgrade fee' to go to the larger drive. Sales people LOVE upsell situations like this! ;)

After all that's usually happening at Sony, the possible lack of availible colors (emphasis on "possible") in Europe feels... Incredibly dull. Not much going on today, was there Joystiq?

Actually this was confirmed right around E3 time. Only the black PS3 will be available at launch.

At first the silver and white were looking really nice to me. But then now we've got a new HDTV and basically everything except the 360 is black in the entertainment center, so I definitely want the black PS3 now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't this been known since E3 2006?

heh. kyou? from THG? nice.

well, i'm a total hater, but i have to say that the white one actually looks kinda cool, for a ps3. i just think black is played, i guess.

certainly, white is on its way to being played too... but it's not there yet!

-"superfan" tactics.

So, what, I get a star taken away for pointing out the obvious. Hey Blake Snow, how about you actually watch the E3 Sony Keynote before posting something that has been known since. Retard. http://www.p0stwh0res.com/images/captainobvious.jpg

I wasnt even aware there might be other colors. I thought they canned this idea long ago.

ok, so if the above picture isn't really correct anymore, because the black one is either cheap-chromed out with the shiny lettering or (seems to me) matte black for the $500 tard pack, I wonder what differences they'll include on the two SKUs for the white and silver ones. a matte white without cheap chrome letters would look real nice next to my 360. or will the chromed-out model only be for the black one, or maybe only at launch?

Yeah, because insulting people is always the best way to get your point across, and the respect you deserve.

On topic, this is probably a good thing. Retailers would be reluctant to make shelf space for 6 seperate versions of the same console. I know they would sell during launch, but a lot of retailers don't have that kind of shelf space they can cut into.

Black will contrast much better when it erupts into flames.

How Ironic is it that someone thinks a post is a waste of time, yet they go through the trouble of leaving a damn comment!?!

If you people are so worried about "slo newz day", then don't waste your and our time with a comment. All it does it slow the rest of us down who actually enjoy reading posts and the TOPICAL comments.

Thanks and sorry for the off topic.

Ancient news... black and black with silver trim... that's what I've known since E3. This is a gaming blog, really?

So...Sony is going to need to produce (eventually) 6 "different" PS3's?!

1) Black Premium
2) Black Basic
3) Silver Premium
4) Silver Basic
5) White Premium
6) White Basic

I can see it now...
"Mommy I want the white PS3 premium"
"Sorry son, all they had was the silver basic"
"I HATE YOU! TAKE IT BACK! I HATE SONY TOO! Get me a Wii360!"

Sony announced they were only going to ship black PS3s at, I believe, E3. It's been known for a while now. They will eventually release the Silver and White consoles.

Hahahahahaha I'm sorry, but yeah, the white one does look like a fridge. If I had it I would stand it up like that all the time for amusement.

This isn't new. Sony made it very clear at E3 that you could buy your PS3 at launch in any color as long as it was black.

Josh, they can moderate as they will, but that was -really- funny!

For the record, I plan on heating my house this winter playing MGS4...and exorcising only when a Wii game requires it. The winter regiment of Hot Pockets, Rumple Minze/hot chocolate mix, and Gamefly coupled with the launch of two awesome consoles makes for a nice end of year!

Amazing, you got yourself a time machine? Don't forget to write walkthroughs for the game so we'll have an easier time playing it when it comes out for the rest of us. :o

The news is preading Sony has lowered the GPU/GPU memory freuency with 10%.
So tomorrow Sony will have to pay again some farmers that will go around every Comment Section on the web to post positive comment and to criticize that website for bringing only bad PS3 news.

Oh no, anything but black. I hate black. Now I can't see myself spending $600 on a console with only black as my option! Heaven forbid!

What is the percentage of consoles that have launched in multiple color schemes for the buyers' aesthetic pleasure? I'm sure it has to be low...

Either way I'm going to get a Wii & PS3... and i'm sure i will not care what color they are as long as I get one.
