Sony announces 40GB PS3 for Japan in black and white
Last week, Sony finally confirmed that a 40GB model of the Playstation with only 2 USB ports, no card reader and no backwards compatibility with Playstation 2 games was coming to Europe. It has since been announced that this model will be available in Japan from next month onwards.
The new model with a 40GB HDD will go on sale in Japan in just over a month on November 11. Like the European model, it will only have two USB ports, it won’t have a card reader, and it’s safe to assume that there will be no backwards compatibility with Playstation 2 games. The console will sell at the price of 39980 Yen (which, at the exchange rate today, is approximately €241, $341 US or £167), making it extremely cheap in comparison to the price tag of €399 in Europe.
If you’re living in Japan and are even remotely interested in this, then you should check out the Japanese Playstation 3 website for more information, provided that you can read Japanese or you don’t mind reading a horrible translation of the website.
Many thanks to myk83 for submitting this!
what? i want my ps3 to be white.
damnit.
You also want it to be worth the money, but currently it ain’t.
Still waiting for that reply fanboy.
Glovner,
Please in a short post and by that i mean less than 5000 words justify why its not worth the money please. Bullet points would be fine !
i could make a post saying I love the Glovner and i’d get a reply from him bitching about something.
just smile and nod. (not that you can help the smiling part. his posts are amusing.)
The only thing I have bitched about is you trying to give the wrong impression of things based on nothing but your opinion and that isn’t really bitching anyway, it’s just an attempt to make you argue your point in an adult manner.
If you want to make a point back it up with what facts are available to prove your stance.
That is exactly what I done Scorn, I could use bullet points for it but they would then lack the actual facts that I provide to back up the statement, so giving to much scope for someone to discount the points I make for there to be any purpose in making them in the first place.
And feel free to say you love me, as I keep saying I don’t actually hate you but your points are fundamentally flawed because of the way you present them.
Anyways, you still ain’t replied.
Your missing the point,
Your essay was covering allot of points some subjective some not.
I want to know why specifically you think the PS3 is overpriced, not worth the money how ever you want to put it.
I ask this cause i really do think you cant justify your comments !
It did cover all the points that lead me to the conclusion that the PS3 at the present time (and this isn’t a new edition before Bot tries to jump on it, I have always said that there is potential but right now nothing is being realised) isn’t worth the money, some you may consider subjective but I have arrived at them based on the available facts that are present in the post.
I have already laid my hand on the table quite clearly on the subject along with the reason I think these things. That would mean that the onus is no longer on me to try and prove them as I have provided the justification for them. The onus is now on somebody else to disprove them.
That is a sexy console but i think the controller is ugly, the buttons and the analogues should have been white to( the contrast of the black/grey and the white is ugly)
Looks nice in white :3 If i ever get one, i’ll get a white one
lucky japs
LOL there tryin to make it look like the wii
