White PS3 rumours hot up

Queues may start forming outside US Circuit City stores by the end of this story, because fresh rumours indicate that 'ceramic white' PlayStation 3s are winging their way to the electronics giant's stores.

According to unnamed sources at CC, cited by website Kotaku, employees have been taking in stock of a new model PS3 stamped with code "CECHH01", which has previously been associated with the white PS3.

CC staff claim to have been told, presumably by Sony, to expect a new 40GB model without a free movie, suggesting the white PS3 will initially be offered in the 40GB capacity. It's said the white PS3s will be held in stock until all remaining bundles comprising a 40GB PS3 with a Blu-ray copy of Spiderman 3 have been sold.

Sony took up its established "deny all" stance long ago, talking down rumours of a white PS3 in January, despite the appearance of documents filed by the company with the US Federal Communications Commission that seemed to suggest one was en-route to the US and Europe.

I just saw a 40Gb tonight without Spiderman 3 and it was black. Are we sure that's not the SKU Sony told them to expect?

sonarus6652d ago

whats the big deal white ps3 blk ps3. I wouldnt by another one just for color. In fact if i had to choose i'll go with black. You always bet on black

heyheyhey6652d ago

if Sony release a red PS3 with a kratos design on it like the PSP then i will buy that despite already having a PS3

and the Slim&Lite will probably be around by then (saw official concept designs for it in T3 magazine)

PirateThom6652d ago

The Black 40GB has a different SKU number.

Black 40GB - CECHG01
White 40GB - CECHH01

EZCheez6652d ago

Are you sure that's the number for the PS3's without Spiderman 3? I think the number you gave for the 40Gb is for the one still packaged with the movie.

PirateThom6652d ago

As far as I'm aware, it's the same SKU number.

Either way, the "CECHH01” number is definitely the white version.

MikeGdaGod6652d ago

i'd get the silver ps3 for $499 tomorrow

Racial humor aside; The PS3 looks good in white

sonarus6652d ago

i think it looks better in black but maybe cus i am biased cus i already have blk. Dont plan on buying another ps3 till they come out with the slim

socomnick6652d ago

It looks better in white It seems to be the trend nowadays with white ipods wiis xbox 360 etc.

LightningPS36652d ago

Because they're gonna need it.

LightningPS36652d ago

They're gonna need it in April, trust me.

RecSpec6652d ago

Not really, why would they try to take away from MGS4 bundle sales?

whoelse6652d ago

Last i heard is that PS3 sales have rocketed and with everything going on in April, they are set to get even better!

Gaara_7246652d ago

would be good but its bad as well coz if u smoke that will turn into a yellowish died colour and if it got dirt on it that will stick out and dust will be more visable

ianp6226652d ago

I think a smoker should be more concerned about his/her lungs turning black rather than a PS3 turning yellow. And dust would probably be harder to see, since dust is whiter than it is black.

I think it's nice to have choice, but ultimately I would get the MGS4 bundle if I didn't already have a PS3.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle19d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde25d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy26d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga27d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199226d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga26d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman26d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger26d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box27d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion26d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7227d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7527d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit27d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14927d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7727d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
