When the PS3's design was first exposed, we were shown these three variations, and along with the Wii's multiple colours, it looked like we were going to get a decent selection of hardware colours this gen. So I decided at that point that I was going to get all white, since the 360 didn't have any variations. I picked up a white PSP and a white DSlite too, in preparation for connectivity with their father systems.
So where is the white PS3 now? Wii looks like it will launch in one colour only, which is white, and PS3 looks like it'll just come in black. Don't make me sit out at launch, Sony, give me my white console, please!
