Sony Announces White PS3 with DualShock

[Jimmy 2004]

After finally agreeing to return rumble to its PlayStation controllers following legal disputes, Sony has now announced the first PS3 console which will be released featuring the updated DualShock 3 technology. The white PS3 console, pictured below, will be launched in Japan on November 11th this year costing about $341, and is the first official colour variation of the machine. It will use the new 40GB hard drive, although DualShock 3 will only be available in Japan initially, with the console continuing to be sold with the standard SIXAXIS for at least a few months in Europe and North America - DualShock 3 isn't expected outside of Japan until spring next year.

I would expect (though I know it wont happen) Sony and Microsoft to follow nintendo's generosity with their new controllers. Id like for them to give folks who own PS3s if not a dual shock controller for free, damn, at least a nice discount <rofl> One can dream though, I know it wont happen
