Why This Says 'Silver' I Don't Know...
But what I will do is give a review for this base on me owning the ceramic white JP version. (Ironically I wish I did get my hands on the silver one but I had already gotten this one by the time it came out)
...and before I start, hell no I didn't spend over a grand for it; however I did buy it off of another site (which more or likely I'm sure I won't be able to name, lol). However, I do think it a bit unfair that people are reviewing the product based off of someone else's (not Amazon, for that matter) pricing. So I thought I'd give something of brief, yet geniune product review, as someone who actually owns one.
This is a slightly old review I would say considering I've owned mines for just about 2 yrs now (got it about 2 holiday seasons ago). Originally it was a 40gb that came w/ one matching sixaxis controller. I'd say pretty much everything was probably the same w/ it as the N. American version (or any other PS3 version for that matter). Setup was easy and fairly straight forward--and when it came to changing the HDD it was pretty much the same (w/ only a minute variation pull-out HDD slot looked from what I seen on the tuts on the web). The ceramic white looks awesome and is surprisingly not that hard to keep clean and of course due to the lighter color, you can get away w/ not seeing as many prints. All-in-all I love it and it's a unique difference from the (older) black ones.
BS
Will it wipe my @$$ for me? 00 and I'll buy, if it can wipe my @$$ for me.
It Changed my life
When i bought this i was 34 years old, single, and still living with my parents. With the silver PS3, women faun over me now. I have trouble keeping all the numbers in my blackberry, even with the 4gb of flash memory. Thank you playstation, for making my dreams come true.
Not worth the price
I love the colour because it's different. No PS3 owner I know has this and for that very reason I'd buy it.
Whoever put it up for such a price is an extortionist because after looking it up on google, the average price for this was £221 or 9...
Why then the shocking price tag for the very same item?
You could MOD the case 3 times over for this price!
It would be CHEAPER to buy a brand new PS3 and a find a silver case (or any color case) off eBay and change the case yourself (or pay someone to do it). You can find cases under . You will void the warranty breaking the seal to change the case, but if it ever broke down on you, you could repeat the above process two more times for the price this person is asking.
