Sony PlayStation 3 White - Image 1Heads up for some (quite) disappointing news, PlayStation 3 fans: despite the news of a recent FCC filing of the white-colored Sony PS3 unit that is currently exclusive in Japan, it doesn't necessarily mean that the differently-colored unit will be launched in North America.

When asked by gaming info site Shacknews, a SCEA spokesperson explained that the FCC filing is just a routine practice for Sony and have already submitted similar FCC entries in the past. The spokesperson continued:

[We] are comfortable with our current two SKU strategy. We are continually evaluating the market trends and consumer input to determine the appropriate PS3 models for our territory.


Well, there you have it. In case the white PS3 really won't end up washed in North American shores, you can always take the best, yet expensive route: importing the unit.

Seriously, why don't they release different colors in the NA regions? People would buy them! I mean *****, even the UK got the Pink PSP. Think about it, if people in this country are stupid enough to die fighting for their favorite color (I'm looking at you Crips/Bloods), they're stupid enough to buy a 500 dollar item because it's a certain color.

Sony never releases any non- black colors here! Same thing with PSP and accessories like camera and GPS.
