US to get white PlayStation 3

FCC filings reveal new sku for North America

Filings at the Federal Communications Commission reveal that Sony will be releasing the Ceramic White PlayStation 3 in North America.

Originally released in Japan in November, the 40 GB units comes with a white DualShock 3 controller and retails for JPY 39,980 in the region.

A covering letter from Sony Japan shows that the unit was submitted to the FCC and the American Telecommunications Certification Body in October of last year, requesting short-term confidentiality "to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public."

NPD data released last week revealed that Sony sold 798,000 PS3 units in December 2007, the strongest month for sales in the region.

It sure looks pretty

April fools?

I think the controller looks disgusting, but the console looks hawt.

If sony added BC I'd seriously consider buying one.

EDIT: April Fools? It's hardly worth being a joke.... I guess it could be, though.

You think they'd at least make it a bit crazier and say that Sony is bringing back BC.

Love the console but hate the way the controller looks. Can't wait to see the ad campaign.

Wasn't this rumored to be true like last year? It looks like it could be because in the text it states sales for Dec. 07. I don't see it happening as they do not sell the 40 GB model anymore. I would love to have it though as the white looks very nice.
