New Japanese PS3 targets Satin worshippers

Those hoping to feel Satin's rumblings in their idle hands can also pick up a similarly colored Dual Shock 3, which releases on the same day for ¥5,500 ($52). If you were foolish enough to pledge your allegiance to that Ceramic White model, consider this your chance to repaint.

Simply godly :) Why are all these colours only releasing now? ¬_¬
Remember back when PS3 was shown for the first time and they had several colours on display, we all thought silver and white as well as black would be a choice, nope, we all bought black, and now we are stuck with it.
Still...a platinum satin PS3, rather tempting...
Harbl @ Feb 5th 2008 7:08AM
I'll only buy it if it comes with that sweet boomerang controller.
jsn @ Feb 5th 2008 7:11AM
so that's all it takes for you eh? color?
maverick_saturn_626 @ Feb 5th 2008 7:13AM
Why? You racist JSN? Don't like other colours? I'm watching you ¬_¬

Agrees with Boomerang comment
Man I loved that controller
upz @ Feb 5th 2008 11:21AM
I kind of liked the boomerang controller. I had a PC controller once that was similar in design and it was actually pretty comfortable. Trying to play Street Fighter with it, though, was one hell of a chore.
At the very least the look of the boomerang fit the PS3. As is now, I'm stuck with this outdated ergonomic nightmare that looks like it just walked out of a Run DMC concert.
Lars @ Feb 5th 2008 2:02PM
Myself and everyone I know (IRL) like the classic playstation controller above and beyond anything else ever created. I'm glad they went back to what works instead of those stupid boomerangs.
Oh, and I'm a Gloss worshiper myself.

@Harbl
Ha! Poor ol' boomerang never saw the light of day.
Also, it's called a play on words, people. Settle down.

What? No Catholic Clear? Hazel Hindu? Blue Buddhist? :(
maverick_saturn_626 @ Feb 5th 2008 7:11AM
Holy White colour ;)
Get a free bible with it too
ThornedVenom @ Feb 5th 2008 8:21AM
Sorry, no Christian colors since there was sort of a conflict between a Church and the Resistance: Fall of Man game on the PS3. ;P
HAIL SATIN!

And what about Jade Jewish? Or Azure Atheist?
A honorable mention would be also Neon Nazi, but since it isn't a religion it doesn't count.
maverick_saturn_626 @ Feb 5th 2008 7:10AM
Im so pissed the boomerang never came out, it looked incredible, odd, but incredible. I liked it. Stupid fanboys complaining ¬_¬ I hate fanboys with a passion...

yea i wouldnt have minded trying out the boomerang too. the curvature of it fits better with the PS3's design then the Sixaxis/DS3 do. i still love the classic Playstation controller but i wouldnt have minded trying something new. im sure it was comfortable.
Jouten @ Feb 5th 2008 7:19AM
I knew this was a Ludwig post, his writing style is 'stylish' and with a good dose of humor and sarcasm.
Good job Ludwig, thanks for putting the smiles on my face whenever I come here to read your blog.
Korova @ Feb 5th 2008 7:22AM
I think my wife is a Satin worshiper.

Dude, you know you totally picked the bed setup

The new color adds to the sleek design. My boss at The Castle Steps said he will by one for the office when it is released. What a job!
Marek Hryc @ Feb 5th 2008 7:55AM
That post was PUN-tastic!
When do we get the new colors here though, I'm waiting on the white PS3 to complete my collection. (360, wii and darth vader psp)
ThornedVenom @ Feb 5th 2008 8:22AM
HAIL SATIN!

ScottyGEE32 @ Feb 5th 2008 8:28AM
I'd tap that...
Rob @ Feb 5th 2008 8:36AM
Correction: The controller is a dualshock 3, not a sixaxis.
Ludwig Kietzmann @ Feb 5th 2008 8:51AM
That is an INcorrection, sir.
baby sea tuna @ Feb 5th 2008 8:43AM
Dammit, Japan, stop teasing us! I want my DualShock3 NOW!!!
Jouten @ Feb 5th 2008 9:18AM
You can buy them online for like 60 bucks. I should have bought some while I was on my trip to Manila, dang! =(
Mojo @ Feb 5th 2008 8:48AM
"Your chance to repaint."
Cute.
Wacky bastards.
CassilineKnight @ Feb 5th 2008 9:18AM
This Is ABOMINATION.
Jerk Face @ Feb 5th 2008 9:44AM
Abomination!?
THIS.. IS PS3!!!!
*Kicks into a hole*
JDigital @ Feb 5th 2008 9:19AM
I cant believe I actually have to say this...
ITS SATIN, NOT SATAN!!!
Its time for this site to go, clearly a bunch of dipshits here.
Ludwig Kietzmann @ Feb 5th 2008 9:27AM
Clearly. One fewer now, though.
Grog @ Feb 5th 2008 9:27AM
I think I just saw something zoom right over your head...
baby sea tuna @ Feb 5th 2008 10:31AM
OMFG, plz say that Ludwig's comment was a prelude to a banning (*ahem* I mean gene-pool cleaning.)
B1gC72 - PSN: KillaKornbread @ Feb 5th 2008 12:50PM
holy shit! the ban hammer strikes again! i gotta give Ludwig his props though cause his comment was smoke city lol. funniest thing ive seen all day lol.
Korova @ Feb 5th 2008 1:30PM
Meh, Captian Oblivious strikes again. But can he outrun Banny, the Joystiq cheetah?
Brello @ Feb 5th 2008 3:29PM
@JDigital
The play on words couldn't have been made any more obvious, as I'm sure you've already figured out by now.
Molniferous @ Feb 5th 2008 9:20AM
Although satin sheets are great and the silver finish is slightly satinlike, I don't think everyone is intending to worship satin. I believe everyone including the blogger meant Satan. Of course I could just be missing the humor.
Ludwig Kietzmann @ Feb 5th 2008 9:28AM
That's certainly ... a possibility.
Nate @ Feb 5th 2008 10:52AM
My lord. I'm surprised we're not bending space-time with the extreme density of some of the comments on here.
Firewall @ Feb 6th 2008 3:24PM
The post is genius as usual, but it is really nothing compared to some of these comments.
I am entertained.
To Nate: +1 sir
To Future Commenters: Don't bother looking up what a pun is before you write your comment. Just go with your gut.
Korova @ Feb 5th 2008 1:39PM
I for one, intend to worship satin. In fact, I am wearing a satin speedo right now!
*close your eyes, nefarious*
And nothing else! BAMMM!
rotulos1 @ Feb 5th 2008 11:02AM
Yay, a new color! what will sony think of next?
Tango Charlie @ Feb 5th 2008 11:44AM
Between this headline and that COD4 Map pack post, I think I'm developing a man-crush on Ludwig.
Korova @ Feb 5th 2008 1:31PM
Been there done that, still waiting for the damn t-shirt
Ranus Studios @ Feb 5th 2008 12:09PM
That's another pun well done, Ludwig.
SToNeP2277 @ Feb 5th 2008 12:28PM
nice when can i get one in the US.
Myke @ Feb 5th 2008 6:40PM
Now, it looks like i'm goin to import a silver DS3. I cant wait....Silver DS3, White DS3, and Black console. I'ma big supporter of interracial dating!!! :)
