White PS3 160GB and 320GB hits Japan on July 29th

[Qb2k5]

Looks like we've (almost) solved the mystery of PlayStation 3's FCC-bound CECH-2501 models. Sony just announced a "classic white" PS3 Slim (as opposed to the "ceramic white" original) for Japan, model CECH-2500, coming July 29th -- and not just with the typical 160GB HDD. For 34,980 yen (about $400 translated to US currency), you can now start off with 320GB of storage. Not to worry, the aforementioned 160GB still retails for 29,980 yen ($342). So, when are we gonna see this elsewhere in the world, hm?

Looks saucy...

This is obviously just a ploy to boost their console sales by selling them to people who already own PS3's

Yeah I hear ya I'm getting one of these although I already have a 120GB Black Slim. Bro hogs my other console, I'm getting the "better" one for myself see.

Real strange thing though.. I was just thinking yesterday how great it'll be if there was a white PS3 Slim and BAM! The announcment.
