New Shiny White PS3 Priced and Dated

Sure, you might all be gawping at pictures of a massive 3DS this morning but I’m coveting a different kind of hardware refresh. The white PS3 will arrive in the UK on June 29th, apparently.

It’s going to cost £239.99, comes with a 320GB hard disk and two DualShock controllers. There’s also a pack-in for 90 days of PlayStation Plus, with all those free games.

It seems as though Game might have landed exclusive rights to sell the console in the UK and it can currently be pre-ordered in their site.

If I wasn’t very happy with my existing black slim model, I think I’d seriously consider this white version. I’d be very tempted to attack it with a black sharpie though, that expanse of white is crying out for some graffiti.

  1. My 1 year old would love to get her jammy mitts on that.

  2. If my shiny phat PS3 ever dies, I now know what will be on my shopping list!

    • A Wii U? :O
      I am tempted to get a white PS3, just cos they look pretty swish :)

  3. Hmmm, not sure i like that actually. Looks a bit bland (i know its just a colour swap between the black & the white, but the black just works IMO).

    Would probably look nice sat next to a Wii though.

    • I like it but I really think the PS3 imprint should be outlined in black. That would be pretty awesome.

  4. Very tempting… that would look good next to my Olympic White Strat I’ve just ordered. I’d just have to relic it up a bit. Best I get down to B&Q for some sandpaper & a chisel… Sorry Sony.

  5. Nice, could get grubby very quickly but equally could be a good base to add some custom artwork.

    • Agreed. This is begging for one of those sticker sets you can buy on ebay. That said my mates “sticker bombed” black 360 is the coolest console I’ve ever seen lol.

  6. I had a white PS3 DS (import from Japan when they first came out) and it’s just packed up on me. It looked great but, and this is not nice but, it shows up the dirt like no one’s business. Yup, I look at my black DSs and they look clean but the white one really showed up the muck that collected between the joints, no matter how many times I cleaned it out.

    • A bit like white jeans. They might look cool (well, in the 80’s they did) but, after 10 minutes you can see all the dirt on them.

      • Although spunk stains just blend right in! XD

      • … Or so i am told. *looks around shiftily*

      • I think spunk would be more noticable on the white PS3 then white jeans. Mainly due to the texture. ;)

  7. Hmm loving the white but it wouldn’t fit terribly well in my entertainment setup as everything is black. Still, would consider one for the bedroom…

  8. Meh, red one is cooler. Good price though :)

  9. Oooooooooooooh that’s a pretty PS3. Gimme!

  10. I’m happy with my silver PS3 :)
