Japan-only: Sexy 'Yakuza 3' PS3 with dragon etching


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.
