Exactly a year after the PLAYSTATION 3 launched in Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment is launching a 40GB PS3 in The Land of the Rising Sun on November 11th. The console will come in Clear Black (model number CECHH00) and Ceramic White (model number CECHH00 CW). There are some changes in this 40GB model: The memory card slot and the SACD reading function have been nixed — no BC. Furthermore, the USB ports have been reduced from four to two ports. Clear Black and Ceramic White SIXAXIS controllers will be included with their respected color consoles. The 40GB console will retail for ¥39,980 ($341). SCE is also lowering the price on the current 20GB and 60GB models by ¥5,000 (US $43). Starting October 17th, the 20GB will retail for ¥44,980 ($384) and the 60GB for ¥54,980 ($469).

Yes this is awesome, it will match my imported PSP! but my PS3 right now matches my HD TV so I am fine w/ the glossy black..

You have an old PSP is Ceramic White? I miss mine so much. :'( I cannot wait until I get a Ceramic White PSP Slim & Lite. Also here's a bigger picture of the Ceramic White PlayStation 3 and it's controller.

Controller looks really nice. However, I think I prefer the glossy black as opposed to the ceramic white. Both are kickawesome, though.
I have a Ceramic White PSP-1000 I almost bought a Crisis Core PSP Slim and Lite before I realized it would be a waste of money because only 3 good games are coming out for the PSP:
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
God Of War: Chains of Olympus
Wow, that thing looks sweet! :o *Doesn't have a PS3* *Thinks this would be a good time to snag one*
