You cant beat black when it comes to console/electrical devices, although it does show the dust like a bastad. I would like a carbon effect one that would look way cool

@ryanh7: You're wrong..no one liked the black..nearly everyone liked the silver and white and thought the launch colour WOULD be silver cause that was the one they showcased the most !!

Silver would be sick! I wanted this color at launch and was quite dissapointed when they didn't release it. Hopefully the controller and Blu-Ray remote is silver as well!

I was at E3 05 when they first revealed the PS3 and at that time it was shown in 4 different colors. Blike, White, Silver, and Silver Flake. So It's not that they were Showcasing the Silver more there were 2 different Silver.

1) Black and Chrome

2) White

3) Silver Metallic - (which they call Satin Silver now)

4) *Silver Flake* - (The one missing color so far. Basically a flat Silver Color With Silver Flakes under the gloss, Flakes Reminiscent of the same flakes found in Goldsloger)

@WhiplashCC: I havent seen the pics of the silver controller - however all DualShock3's do say 'SIXAXIS' on them. Really they are a 'DualShock3 SIXAXIS' controller.
