According to Kotaku, white DualShock 3 controllers have begun surfacing in the U.S.

Originally, it was speculated that new controllers wouldn't hit the U.S. until June. However, people have been posting that they have been seeing them already in retail stores. The image below was taken by Kotaku reader "Henry" after picking one up from his local Walmart.

Have any of you spotted the elusive peripheral?

UPDATE: According to SCEA, there are "no plans to release a white DUALSHOCK 3 controller in North America." As for the image sent in to Kotaku, SCEA told us that "the image isn't legitimate."

     Wow it looks pretty nice I may get one...  I'm always trying to find my controller as my bed sheets/gray, my chairs are black, and my glass tv stand is black tinted glass...  My controllers are always in one of those places... having a white one would make it alot easier to see lol.

    I personally think black is the best but it is always nice to have a variety of choices.

    I got one (had it since dec. 26 for $5 extra) but my sweat (and that of other players) seems to build up around the nooks like some black gunk ("ewwwwwww"). lol.

     maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought it was supposed to be a silver controller in June?

    I got 2 white DS3 controllers well over a year ago from Gadget Asia. Both of them have broken now though and they refuse to replace them, as do Sony. If they're at the states, its only a matter of time before they're in Europe, then I'll get one.

    @14 Black gunk? Maybe you should wash your hands. I've had mine for a year (eBay) never cleaned it, but always clean.  As for people that are worried about the 'clashing' of colours, it is not bad at all. If black goes with anything, it is white. They look sick, and aren't really elusive, I bought mine and shipped it for the same amount as you would pay for a black one a retail store.

     now that i look at it the pic isn't legitimate the receipt doesn't give any indication of what color the controller is or that it's even a dualshock 3

  44. J1gs4w | d3v1ldr1v3r

    • 7:15am BST - May 13th, 2009

    • 8:50am BST - May 13th, 2009

     i don't see what all the hype is.

     

    i barely look at my controller. white PS3's would be a lot better.

    • 4:46am BST - May 14th, 2009

    yeah, thats all the person did. got it from japan and put it in a US box. the reciept says nothing about white controller. just get it from jp. I sent my brother one when they first came out here. I should go buy a bunch and sell them on ebay or something.
