As a follow-up to their
Ceramic White 320GB PS3, today at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2011 Sony has
unveiled new Scarlet Red and Splash Blue PS3 systems heading to Japan on November 17, 2011.
Below is the official Sony PlayStation 3 Press Release, and to quote from Examiner.com (linked above):
The new colors will also come with matching DualShock 3 metallic colors. Both consoles will be sold at 29,980 yen each (or approximately $389.81 in U.S. dollars) when they launch in Japan on November 17th.
Press Release: The new "Splash Blue" PS3 system comes in a fresh metallic blue color that resembles a splashing water or the ocean while the "Scarlet Red" PS3 comes in a vibrant metallic red color that resembles a glaring sun or a flame.
Matching perfectly with the PS3 system, DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller included in the bundle will also come in these special colors.

Ceramic White 320GB PS3 Heads to Europe on November 1, 2011
The ceramic white 320GB PS3 console is heading to Australia and Europe on November 1, 2011.
The white PlayStation 3 will come with two matching white Dualshock 3 controllers, and will be available at Micromania and in Australia at EB Games.
To quote: "Gamers in the UK can expect to pay 250GBP, while those in mainland Europe face a tag of €300 Euro, and Aussies will need to find $448 AUD.
Sadly, the white PS3 won't be coming to North America anytime soon--unless extremely geeky Sony fans across the pond are desperate enough to buy that they'll splash extra for importation."
