New White Playstation 3
Sony has now announced the arrival of a new model – a sleek “Classic White” Playstation 3 with a larger hard drive. It will be arriving in Japan on July 29th and will come in a 160GB version to replace the old 120GB units. Retailing at 29980 yen (Around £225), it is set to cost the same price as the existing 120GB unit. The new 160GB model will still be coming in classic “Charcoal Black” for those who prefer the older styling.
At the moment, it is currently unclear if or when these white models will be appearing in the USA or any PAL countries although it is highly likely. I do find it a bit strange that Xbox makes a black model and then Sony immediately releases an upgraded base white model.
The white new model comes with a basic selection of attractive Classic White controllers. A new selection of white Playstation 3 accessories will be available on GamingZap.com along with the traditional black and many other items.
