Japan gets first crack on an updated version of, well, the updated of the PS3. For the first time in its history, the slim PS3 will come in a different color other than black after Sony announced the white 160GB version. It’ll be bundled with a matching white Dual Shock controller, but other than the cosmetic changes, it’s really no different than the black version in terms of features. Looks pretty cool though; maybe it’s because white devices are apparently so difficult to get these days. Or maybe it’s because we’ve been staring at our tired old black PS3 for years.
The updates didn’t end with a new color option though; they’ll also be upping the slim’s max capacity, adding a black 320GB version to top the existing 250-gigger’s storage.
Both are due out in Japan on July 29, with the white 160GB version going for the equivalent of around $340, while the 320GB version will cost close to $400. No word on when the new versions come out in other countries, but they’re expected to cost around $40-50 less when they launch in the US.
