White PS3 coming to North America?

Since the unveiling of the PlayStation 3, gamers have been teased with several color options for the system. Well, the launch has come and long gone, and to the disappointment of many, there has yet to be any option other than black when shopping for a PS3. Well, that may soon change.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has submitted photos of what appears to be a white 40GB PS3, judging by the two USB ports on the front of the system. While this presentation is in no way confirming the systems existence or announcement, it is, however, the first step in Sony planning on releasing the white PS3 in North America. 

Hopefully we will see some new colors this year, but until then, file this one under rumor. Be sure to check back for all the latest.

    One reason why I dislike Sony is that they never release any of the good stuff in Europe!

    I'm in Australia (Europe region) and want the white PS3 as well. I got a DualShock 3 from Japan that white and it looks great. Matches my PSP.

    If you have the money, you have any color you want in the world...heck, you make it unique and make it of textured material (arty)!  I bet you could get a real 18k gold models in 'Dubai!!  24k gold MIGHT melt though!!! ;)

     

    OMG!, that would have to be the shortest comment I've ever read from "The Cleaner"!!! 80

    I don't get why everyone is always so hot on these multi-colored Playstation rumors.  Was the same with the PS2.  If you already have one, are you really going to go out and buy another just because it's white?  Hey, I have the $$ to throw away on it, but not for such a silly reason.  Anyway, it's cool and all that they offer different colors but surely people realize that colors that don't sell represent lost $$ for Sony?  I'm sure they have all kinds of market analysis on colors and what will or won't sell in each market.  THAT is the reason they release the consoles in certain ways. I'm betting the white unit won't sell even half what the black ones do.  Other colors would fare even worse.  The only market that seems to respond well to tons of colors is Japan.

    The black version might attract fingerprints like no other, but it's the best color for a console.

    I would think the silver version is a better bet in North American, than white. Colors aside, Sony needs to bring the dualshock here before spending resources on another color console.
