Sony releases new PlayStation 3 stuff in Japan

First off, and least important, they get the new 40GB PS3 model. Now for the good stuff, a ceramic white PS3 with matching controller and Dual Shock 3 controllers.

I think the 40GB will be the one available in white and the matching controller will be a regular SIXAXIS but it will be the same white. However Sony is also looking to phase out the 60GB and 20GB models, so they are bundling them with Spiderman 3 for the holidays, the 40GB also gets this bundle.

Onto the best news, Dual Shock 3 for the PS3 without any catches. By that I mean that its not wired only, you don't lose the motion detection, it is quite literally a standard SIXAXIS only with vibration, it retains the Bluetooth, the rechargeable battery, all that good stuff.

The Spiderman bundling deal starts on November 11th. The sale of, and bundling of, the Dual Shock 3 also starts on that date, it will be bundled with color matched versions with both the white and black 40GB PS3 or will be available separately for $47, mind you, that's all in Japan, it will all likely eventually make it stateside, but maybe not on those dates.
