If you were in the market for a white PS3 Slim, but didn't want one with Lightning all up on it, you're in luck! Sony Japan has just introduced a new "Classic White" system, along with a new white vertical stand and, of course, Classic White DualShock 3 controllers. The new system is outfitted with a 160GB hard drive. The 160GB PS3 will retail for 29,980 ($341). In addition, Sony is selling the "Charcoal Black" PS3 Slim in a 160GB Torne digital recorder bundle, for ¥36,980 ($421), and a version with a luxurious 320GB hard drive (and no Torne) for ¥34,980 ($39. All of these are going on sale -- in Japan only -- on July 29. The current 120GB PS3 Slim is now going "open price," meaning retailers can drop the price at their discretion.
I was going to order a White Slim from PlayAsia.com but I did my home work and found out JAPANESE IMPORT SYSTEMS are not covered under Sony Warranty in the U.S. so buyer beware if you buy an Import your doing so at your own Risk. With that said the system looks sweet as hell, let me know when Sony announces them for the U.S...LOL
