For those of you who are sick of the same ol’ black that the PlayStation has been released in for the past few years, prepare yourselves
for some change.
It looks like the 40 GB Playstation 3 will now be available in a ceramic white color soon after papers were filed with the FCC to release the gaming console in that color in North America.
The PS3 has already been available in white in Japan since November, so it’s nothing new to our counterparts overseas, but for those of you in the US, you now have something new to look forward to.
Except for the price. The really steep price. That’s not going to change.
But at least it’ll be white!

Who would have thought that if you go to Dell, you’d get a better deal on a Playstation 3.
Currently, the 40 GB version of the PS3 is going for $399 at most stores, but I bet you didn’t know that at Dell, you can get about $80 worth of freebies. When you get the console, you’ll receive a free HDMI cable and a copy of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

Here are a few headlines that stood out this week:
Looks like people have a reason to go to the bank, even if you don’t have any money to dump into it.
Sony has set up Playstation 3 kiosks at Shinhan Banks in Korea. Besides the conventional print ads and commercials, it looks like Sony is pulling out all their ideas trying to get consumers to play their games. Forget BestBuy, they’re pioneering into banks.
And banks aren’t the only place their trying to tap into. In Mokdong, Seoul, a public demonstration of the Playstation 3 was setup in a multiplex theater.
What’s next?PS3 booths in McDonalds!?

Sony isn’t pulling back any punches with the Playstation 3. First they drop the price and
now they are giving it better features.
According to gameindustry.biz, Sony is going to launch a digital tuner for the PS3 in early 2008, allowing this game console to have programmable TV recording functions.
Warwick Light, Sony’s sales and marketing manager for Computer Entertainment New Zealand is quoted saying to the website, The Press, they are trying to “transform the PS3 capabilities so as to meet people’s changing entertainment needs.”
That’s great. I’m glad they’re trying. But now I wonder once they include the DVR function, if they are going to hike their prices back up.
