The new PlayStation 3 bundle, accompanying the release of Yakuza 3 in Japan, comes with two silver dragons etched into the system's white exterior. We don't know how the effect appears in person, but judging by the images that Siliconera extorted and laundered from Sony, it looks quite sexy.
The bundle, which comes with a 80GB PS3, retails for ¥45,980 ($495), an approximate savings of ¥2,000 ($21.50). Sega only plans to make 10,000 of these units available, so importers had better act fast and ruthlessly. We contacted Sega about a possible North American release of the console, but a company spokesperson confirmed it's "only slated for release in Japan." Considering Yakuza 3 hasn't even been announced for North America, we can see how such a bundle might not make it stateside.*
*Fun fact: Yakuza 2 took 21 months to localize.

As much as that system completely and totally rocks, I'll still be happy with Yakuza 3.

Double Dragon was on everything *but a PlayStation*
Also, why include the Double Dragon game when you can get Double Dragon the movie on Blu-ray! :P

I want to tell it how hot it is but I'm afraid it'll think I'm being sexist.
It's so hot it's making me sexist.
Bitch.

I just want a white Ps3 period. White is the new black for me. Though oddly enough i want a black 360. Weird.

Quite a sexy beast, the controller looks pretty cheap though.

Hey! Maybe I'm good to go to get this one. :)
I originally wanted to wait for the price drop to around 30.000 Yen, though.
