Silver PS2 comes to US

When the PlayStation 3 was announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2005, Sony showed off the console in three different colors--silver, white, and black. But with the launch of the system a mere weeks away, early adopters will only have the black hue to take home.

For Sony fans who pimped out their living rooms in a silver motif in anticipation of getting a silver PS3, all is not lost. The company today confirmed what online retailers previously leaked--a silver-colored PlayStation 2 redesign is now available in North America.

The model, previously released in Europe and Japan, will retail for $129.99, the same price as the black model. In today's announcement, Sony indicated that the model will be available "while supplies last."
