Fans of colour coordination rejoice as soon your beloved PS3 will no longer stick out like a sore thumb next to the Wii and Xbox 360 – in Japan at least. Sony has confirmed that two brand new SKUs will be going on sale in Japan on July 29th – one with a 160GB hard drive, and the other with a 320GB hard drive.
Both of these will be available in the normal black colour, but the 160GB model will also be offered in this rather fetching white, complete with matching DualShock 3.
Price wise the 160GB model will come in at ¥29,980 ($342) which is the same as the existing 120GB, and the 320GB version will sell for ¥34,980 ($399).
As of tomorrow the current 120GB model will switch to open pricing, which means Japanese retailers can price them as they wish to clear out old stock.
As usual there is no word as to whether these new SKUs will make it out of Japan – but we live in hope.

I agree with @hairfreax and @Brendancalls I prefer my black PS3. Looks very nice though.

My TV is black, my DVD player/recorder is black, my speakers are black! If any of these were white I might consider co-ordinating but until then black is best!!

320GB? thats a huge improvement in memory.
its almost like Sony waited for the Xbox 360 slim to be released so they can say, ha we still have the upper hand with 110 more GBs
