Satin Silver PS3 hits March in Japan

March is shaping up to be a good month for Japanese gamers, with the next Yakuza and Dynasty Warriors installments confirmed for release in that month.

But it looks like software won't be the only new gaming additions in Japan, with confirmation that Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will be releasing a new satin silver variation of the PlayStation 3 Slim model, which, according to Sony, will be a limited release.

The model will come in both a 160GB SKU and a 320GB SKU. The consoles will cost 29,980 yen (US$366) and 34,980 yen (US$427) respectively. Each model will come with a satin silver-colored Dual Shock 3 controller, a power cord, an AV cable, and a USB cable. GameSpot Asia is still waiting for further news from Sony Hong Kong on whether this version of the PS3 will be available in Southeast Asia.
