Hey guys first post in the PS3 forums. Anyway, I've been holding off on the PS3 because I was going to wait until Sony ( at least in Japan so I can buy import) was going to come out with white. Then when the price cut came I decided might as well bite the bullet and pick up one in the next month or so. Then I went thought the net for any info on any plan for a white release and stumbled on to the painted white one presented in this thread. It reminded me about the article and the ridiculous fact someone payed so much for a cracked open and warranty voided white PS3. I said screw this and since I already modded the hell out of my 360 I'm going to get my PS3 and make it white with some added tweaking that the other guy didn't do. I'll keep you guys posted. You can also see my 360 mod in the link in my signature below.
