Here in the US we have had a few bundled PS3 systems that were different from the standard black console. That shiny black color has been the only color we could get in North America for a long time now. Japan on the other hand has been able to get a ceramic white console for more than a year and has had access to a silver PS3 as well.

White Sony PS3 to land in Europe and Australia, still no US love
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Modded into One Console
It wasn't a matter of IF it were going to happen, it was much more a matter of WHEN - and that time is now - a single box with two of the top gaming systems in the world running in and out of it, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Reddit user timofiend has found what he considers the perfect combination of two systems and a rather simple encasement for a single gaming unit that stomps out all others. As many commenters on the project have mentioned already: finally there's a use for this ol' PC tower I've got lying around.

Apple can learn some lessons from Sony
In most markets it competes in, Apple easily defeats all others. In the mobile space, for example, the company’s iPhone 4 and iPad 2, are easily besting all others in total sales, due mainly to their strong features.
However, there is one space that Apple is lagging far behind: the living room. Currently, the company is trying to cement itself in the living room with the help of the Apple TV, a set-top box that, for years, has been called a hobby by Apple itself.
The $249 PS3 is now the Best Deal in the Business
Sony could very well have made its best decision in years by dropping the price of its PlayStation 3 console $50 earlier this week. Now, consumers can get their hands on the 160GB model for $249 or the 320GB option for $299. And in the process, the company, which also announced a Europe-only PSP, called the E-1000 for £99, has put the onus on Microsoft to respond with a price cut of its own to match its chief competitor.

Will Sony Ever Stage A Comeback?
Earlier this week, I was talking to a friend about an HDTV he was planning to buy. He told me that he went down to Best Buy and looked over all the products the store had on display. After talking to a salesperson and looking at the pictures of all the televisions, he decided on a 55-inch Sony LCD.
Sony PlayStation 3D monitor to miss Christmas shopping season (barely)
I know that my PS3 is sitting there all ready to play 3D games whenever I want to or to allow me to watch 3D flicks as well. I also know that I am in no way ready to buy a 3D TV at this point. The sets are still not cheap enough or good enough for me to think about upgrading the living room. If you feel the same, but you really have a desire for some 3G gaming on the cheap you might want to consider the PlayStation 3D monitor.
