Update: 250GB Final Fantasy XIII “Lightning Edition” PS3 Unveiled in Japan

With the 2009 Tokyo Game Show in full swing, Sony unveiled a 250GB PS3. The console is available for a limited time as the Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Edition for 41,600 yen (roughly $459) due mid December. The console is white, Lightning herself is printed on the chassis in stunning detail, and Final Fantasy XIII is bundled with the package as well. No word on a release date yet for North America, so start watching NCSX and Play-Asia if you plan on getting one.
Edit by Christopher: I was able to find a nice real life shot of this new PS3, enjoy:





Oh my god, that is one sexy-looking PS3. Most of my Sony products are in black, but I do own a white PS2 and PSP. I been thinking to get a white PS3 'fat' for a while but the PS3 Slim version looks so much nicer than the black Slim version, even without that Final Fantasy motif on it. When my poor old 60GB does decide to die on me eventually in the future, a white PS3 slim is what I'll get!
would you happen to know where to get one? I went to my local store today (in Japan) and they said that I couldn't preorder it because they didn't know if they would get it or not. Apprently Sony's not telling which stores are going to be able to sell the consoles. But since you ARE sony insider……
My guess is that Bic Camera would be my best bet. What do you think?
Never mind I preordered it online. ^_^
