New versions of the Playstation 3 are coming soon, first to Japan and then the rest of the world. The new PS3 Slim will come in new colors and with a larger HDD.
First things first: in Japan, the PS3 will cease to be made available in 120GB and 250GB sizes, and instead come in 160GB and 320GB versions. These new models will be released in Japan on July 29, and for the first time will see the PS3 Slim available in two colours: the existing black and “Classic White”.
There are new versions of the PlayStation 3 coming, with new hard drive sizes and new colours. And as is custom, they’re hitting Japan first.
The 160GB model will cost ¥29,980 (USD$340), while the 320GB version will retail for ¥34,980 (USD$400).
As of now, details on this expansion to the PS3 range have been confined to the Japanese market; we’ll update should we hear anything of Sony’s plans for the PAL regions or North America.
