Europe, Australia Getting White PS3 in November
How about a snow white PS3 for the winter months?
European and Australian Sony fans envious of the white PS3 made available to Japanese fans this past summer will be pleased to hear that the console is making its way to Europe and Australia just in time for the holiday spending season. Available exclusively through GameStop, both the UK and German branches of the retailer are now taking web preorders for the console, which is available in the 320GB capacity and with two matching Dualshock controllers. Pricing in the UK is set at £250, while German gamers are looking at a €299 pricetag and the Aussies will have to cough up just shy of $450.
Sadly, there's no news on when we can expect the U.S. to get this white PS3, or even if it's headed this way at all. Japan routinely gets a larger selection of consoles in various shades and colors compared to the rest of the world. However, with Europe and Australia now getting the classy, white PS3, we're wondering if it might sometime make its way to North America. Here's hoping!

Wow, I didn't know that white PS3 is not universally available as I just purchased one this past July in my country (Taiwan).
nm,
I think I like this more than the black one.

I wonder if Apple will sue?
Please release the white one for NA as well. It's just a different colour case, don't be so stingy.
Again, another non-news article just clogging up Tom's along with the spam of Apple "news" i.e rumors, that are just that... unfounded rumors.
I find this site less and less appealing every day when I see articles like this being written instead of more interesting and insightful news in the world of tech, not just giving large companies free press.
Umm Toms hardware if you didnt know, in australia summer is october-feb not WINTER., so dont u mean SUMMER WHITE lol.
I don't think it even snows in Australia.

You realize most anything made in Japan or Europe tends to get released there first right? Maybe Australia gets everything after the US but no we don't get everything first.
the iFanboys just gizzed in their pants.....
Come on SONY... bring the WHITE PS3 to the USA!!
I don't own any PS consoles... but did want to get a white PS2 when it was $120... no longer on the market. But the new PS3 in white looks damn good. I want it!
Sony now offers just a single black model for $300... theres room for a white one.
There are 8 DIFFERENT XBox 360s available...
I wonder if Apple will sue?
hmmm. i don''t know... it doesn't look glossy enough like an apple product

They can always touch up the photo before submitting it to the courts, they aren't strangers of altering pictures berfore submitting them after all.
White looks good, though I'd still prefer silver.
I like it... I like it a lot. To me it looks elegant.
Probably the best reason for a white shroud is that its easier to use as a base for really pimp paint jobs. It would look really sweet with some nice pin striping. Anyway, the white PS3 won't hit the states until Apple "invents" televisions with white bezels, rofl.
To think, before release the PS3 was supposed to come in Black, Silver or White. Five years later and US still only has the black console.
