Japan to get exclusive white PlayStation 3 40GB model · 15-10-2007, 04:04 PM

After the recent announcement that the 40GB PlayStation 3 would be coming to Europe and amid speculation that it is heading to North America next month, Sony has confirmed that Japan will be getting the new model on November 11th, with an exclusive white color.

The unit will be available in both ?Clear Black? and ?Ceramic White? colors and sell for 39,980 yen ($341 USD) when it hits. The white color will be the first official color variation since the system was launched last year.

Also coming with the new unit will be a DualShock3 controller instead of the standard SIXAXIS. European 40GB models will have the SIXAXIS as the DS3 is not expected to hit North America or Europe until spring 2008.

Finally, Sony also said they would be giving a free copy of Spider-Man 3 on Blu-ray to the next 20,000 purchasers of any PS3 in Japan including the 20GB and 60GB models currently in stock.

that is the only country where they sell better than the x360! i guess this is a 'reward' for the loyalists, for not completely dumping sony in it's hour of need!
