There's no guarantee the red pill will allow you to stay in Wonderland to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, but it sure is pretty, right?

That's nice and all but other than maybe purchasing it for kids for their own room I really can't see it elsewhere. Those colors wouldn't match anything of mine and would stick out like a ugly sore thumb if I were to put it with my entertainment system.

Does offering new colored consoles really boost sales?

 

[CaedenV]

I have a dream where consoles will be judged by the content of their hardware instead of the color of their skins

I am glad I have my original healthy FAT shiny black SSD edition with induced cooling.

not so glad for noise though...thinking about burying it underground with a duct.

White??? That will look awful in most homes after about 3 months... it'll be yellow, especially if a smoker lives there. Red and blue aren't bad though... Bright shiny primary colors tend to sell...

I'm perfectly fine with my 60GB PS3.

Well actually, if a smoker lives there, it will look horrible until they discolor it enough with their lung tar so as to match everything else yellowish/white

You know, a can of spray paint and a little patience can make your PS3 any color you want it to be. Just something to consider....

 

[rohitbaran]

Wow. So they are trying to keep people's interest in the aging PS3 by introducing new colors. That is kind of pathetic. Something like, 'oh hey look , the new White iPhone 4!'

I'm guessing you don't have one. Its still a very good machine...

Yes. I can think of plenty of examples where people waited for better colors before buying, or didn't buy it at all because it wasn't in a color they liked.

 

[beardguy]

I have a better idea, how about a price drop Sony?

 

[Ogdin]

I have a even better idea,with all the security issues,and there latest EULA update,just go by something that Sony doesn't make.

wooah now lets not be so judgmental on a tech forum budd. This isn't DARE class ya know. I don't smoke and dislike cigarettes too but jeeze.


but anywho, a typical, bad sales scheme once again by console developers.

 

[silverblue]

I wonder what the tag line will be on the advertising...

"Finally."?

Whoops, that's been used...

 

[bin1127]

I wouldn't mind the red. but I still want the black controller.

 

[Shin-san]

For some reason, I'm reminded to buy a Eureka or Bissel vacuum cleaner.

Anyways, I agree with the guy that the colors won't blend in well with a lot of homes. I can understand more of black, white, silver, or grey, but not those colors unless it's a special edition console with a game's logo or something.

Don't need one. My PC is a lot better.

 

[eddieroolz]

Ugh, they look a bit tacky.
