Sony PS3 Slim: New White Model coming to US?

We have some exciting news for PS3 owners now, as it has been revealed that the elusive White PS3 Slim may be set for release in the US after all, after a discovery was made on Amazon.

As reported from Engadget, a new PS3 Dual Shock controller with the description ‘Classic White’ has been listed on the online retailer, along with a shipping date of October 15th.

You may be aware that Sony already sell a white PS3 pad, but this is the ‘Ceramic White’ pad, and it’s a different shade of color to the Classic One. Of course, you can pick up a white PS3 model in Japan, but the shipping costs and hassle bringing it over to the US is simply too much for the average gamer.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Sony are planning to introduce a White PS3 for the US at the Tokyo Game Show? We’re certainly excited about this.
