Sony Releasing Silver PS3 in Japan

[Jimmy 2004]

Japan looks set to get its third PS3 color with news that Sony plans to launch a silver version of the 40GB console. Dubbed 'Satin Silver', the console will go on sale on 6th March for ¥39,800 (about $360). The new PS3 will ship with a matching silver controller using the SIXAXIS technology, but will not feature rumble. Japan already has the standard black console along with a Ceramic White version, although there is no news of whether this silver model will be coming to North America or Europe.

Wow...I'd really like to have a silver PS3. Hopefully when Sony redesigns the PS3 later this year they'll include this color.

It looks pretty unappealing to me. The black is much nicer in my opinion.

same the black looks smarter, but then i like black things, black phone, black computer, black mp3 player, black car

I like like black, but choosing between Silver and Black would be a hard decision.

I like black the best, but this silver is certainly more appealing than the white. The best part is that it will blend in better with Grey/Silver TVs, which are the colors of most Sony TVs.

The white is nice, but this saucer silver is sweet. Im sure fingerprints and dust are less "noticeable" on it.

Looks like the Silver version may not be coming to NA anytime soon:
