$2,000 Yellow PS3 Is 2X Faster Than Normal PS3

An auction is currently up on eBay for a Sony PS3 console which is being sold to users as being two times faster than the original PS3 console.

This is a very interesting and unique PS3 console to say the least and one which has garnered quite a bit of attention up on eBay.

The PS3 being sold is yellow in color and comes with a 200GB 7200RPM hard drive packed into it under its bright yellow hood.

damit, i was just about to post this, had to wait cos of limit

[SlappyMcTaint]

fvcking moron that thinks this PS3 is twice as fast?!?! Probably the same kind of person that thinks bright stickers and a big wing make your Honda waay fast4r!!

[Vojkan]

zzzzzzzzzz

[Taker_129]

:)

[kornbeaner]

What exactly makes it faster???

If it's meant to be better then a normal PS3 then maybe it's a devkit.???

Can somebody find out exactly what makes it better.

[power091999]

How much you want to bet they are saying it's 2x's faster because of the 7200RPM Hard drive, which is 5400RPM stock.

Clever... but pretty shady in the same sense.

[deadshark1]

[PimpHandHappy]

that lets us travel back in time

~~rubbing chin~~

thats worth 2grand

[dhammalama]

but there is a sucker born every minute, so they say.

[Shadow Flare]

that this ps3 makes the 4th dimension a reality AND that it has wheels?

Is it just me or does the ps3 look simply awesome in any colour? It looks great in white, black, yellow but my favourite is that deep scarlet red

[deadshark1]

i bet u its in china or somin its the ps15 lol u think making a con paintin it yellow lol shuffin in the 360 elite drive u think i h8 (ms)(microshit)

[gamesR4fun]

just a paint job and a 7200 hd rather than the standard 5200 which makes almost no difference to the speed...

[RedSeven]

Yeah, but it's yellow.

[Silver Bull3t]

Has anybody even tried to overclock a CELL yet?.... No way in hell can you OC the Cell or the Xenon (or most other CPUs) by 50% without uber cooling and a good PSU. 2x faster is just straight-up fantasy.

[ReBurn]

They would have painted racing stripes on it.

[skagrerrrr]

tell that to the crytek team: let's see if it could run crysis

[Excalibur]

As ugly too.

[PimpHandHappy]

with a puke green version

oh wait

maybe this was Sonys counter

lol

[Shadow Flare]

There is a puke green version. It's called the Xbox 360 Halo Edition

[Shankle]

Duh, that's what he's saying

[WilliamRLBaker]

and guess what:) it sold out as soon as it came in at nearly every store, more so then ps3 it would seem.

[Greysturm]

Near me has them gathering dust, this is not an attack against the 360 those sell well but the halo edition just stays there untouched apparently people actually have something called taste.

[LOFT316]

Have to pay me 2000 to own a yellow PS3 !! My shiney black one will do fine thank you

[ReBurn]

What's that site that paints them for you? That's only $100.

[IdontTakeSides]

Yups I agree my shiny Black beast is perfectly fine....and im not gonna pay and extra $1,500 200GB..which I have already installed for ne ways..and yellow is not my kinda color....maybe metallic blue...hhmm!!

[Bladestar]

Damn... you really have to be really [enter insult here]; to pay $2,000 for a custom painted console with a 200GB 7200RPM Hard drive you can buy yourself. This has nothing to do with the PS3.. I would say the same if you pay that amount for any other console.. xbox 360 or wii...

[Bleucrunch]

just come out with a blue colored ps3 and I am sold.

[jack who]

so thats how much it would cost you to get the ps3 to crap 2x as fast in yellow

[Hydrollex]

Who ever buy that PS3 is a mother fuking moron. You can paint your PS3 by $100 instead of getting trapped by the color and comments. Nobody can change inside the PS3 except HardDrive. SO this is the LAMEST news ever.

[Hydrollex]

See again that guy is selling this for 999$

[feejo]

Ya I will post a red PS3 http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISA...

I don't mind the color in 2011 we will see PS4 with 2 cell processor and 16 SPU.

[DeadlyFire]

Nah, 2nd Cell will have 32 SPEs and 2 PPEs. So thats 2 PPE cores with 16 SPEs in each one. At least that is what is set by them on their roadmap for 2010.

[fopums]

did you guys see the canadian limited edition red PS3? man that thing was sexy! my black 60 gig is fine....apperance wise, the yellow just looks strange

edit: dur dur dur, didnt read post 24! lol, well theres a red one if you havent seen it yet xD

[J@D]

That's my dream come true. I'm quite a yellow freak lol.

[dangerstepp]

Now we can play all the games not being released and 6 month old shoddy 360 ports 2x as fast!!!!

[jack who]

plz tell me you are jokin?

[dhammalama]

I'm gonna do the same thing.

[vgn24]

Now I can play no games twice as fast! This is amazing.

Sorry, had to

edit: HOLY CRAP! The guy above me beat me to it and wrote almost the same thing. LMFAO

[DZNetworks]

This is just a come on for a company that will custom paint your ps3 any color you want.

[Close_Second]

...you could never get a taxi when you needed one!?! The only thing missing is some guy behind the wheel who has a name with 10 syllables.

Really, the only place this yellow beast wouldn't seem out of place is probably the playboy mansion or a pimp's pad sitting under a stolen plasma.

[Poisen]

I thought this was a joke. How the hell did they get the Ps3 to run twice as fast? Why make it yellow? Those questions I would like to know.

[gololo]

this makes me want to criticize sony/ms...they should make their consoles available in different colors...im so jealous of a colored ps3 (or 360 for that matter) but for real we should be able to choose our consoles colors (my PS1 didn't go with my black entertainment set, neither the 360, that is why i want a elite really bad)

[MrWonderful]

well im gonna go get a new 60gb for my bedroom and send it to colorwarepc.com and have them paint it white so i can enjoy all my games on the other side of the house.

[Fu1985]

Now why would anybody want to buy this console for 2,000 dollars because your an idiots if you buy it.Save your moneys for something else to buy.

[sadiq]

dumbasses, its just 2x faster bcuz of the 7200rpm hdd, and its just a yellow ps3 from www.colorwarepc.com (u can custom color most consoles and ipods etc)

[DethWish]

7200 RPM instead of 5400RPM can't give twice the speed :S

[NiteWarrior]

2x the speed of a normal ps3? Theres no way thats true and whoever bought it must really want a yellow ps3 which doesnt really look that good anyway in my opinion

[ShiftyLookingCow]

2x PS3 = 2x more videos of Angry Foul Mouthed German Kid on Youtube!!!

anybody who buys those are stupid as hell.

[ps3FTW]

I thought Sony was making a another SKU for a second.

[jaja1434]

Love the color, I wish more console could offer something other than the standard black and white. The Halo one doesn't count...They picked a very ugly color of green.

Anyways I love the yellow. :)

[theoneandonly]

The PS3 is selling for over $1000 on eBay, who says some people can't be a success?

Personally, I think all you SONY fanboys need to stop getting your twisties in such a knot. THINGS happen in this industry all the time you never expected, and they DO happen constantly!!!!

http://translate.google.com...

Like this, for instance. You all rail on the 360 as though its dead in Japan, but I would say you are being borderline delusional then.

Project Gotham Racing 4 a game that's been out for HOW LONG NOW, just outsold a bunch of PS2 games and DS games.

http://translate.google.com...

Lets see PGR4 sold about 7100 units in a week over 7 thousand.....

That's far, far, from dead. Xbox360 is the newcomer to Japan, and it has already outperformed the original Xbox by 3 times.

I keep wondering, given the PS2 has been out the longest shouldn't it be king in Japan instead of the Gameboy?

Oh and it also has 50,000,000 games, yet their games did not outsell Project Gotham racing 4 which came it at number 25/26 on the PLATINUM SALES CHART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets talk about "REAL" games now. The 360 average attach ratio is 3.6, thats ridiculously high when Sony's is still basically around (2).

To call the XBOX360 dead in Japan is the stupidest argument I've ever seen.

Nobody says the PS3 is dead in Europe, even though its getting kicked in the face every day. The PS3 can rebound in Europe with Metal Gear Solid 4.

Likewise the 360 as it gets hundreds of games released for it, CAN DO ALOT BETTER: ITS LOGIC!!!!!!!!!

Take a common sense class.....I Bet the Xbox becomes very competitive in Japan sometime. The only thing its not doing is as well as the PS2 overall, yet its beating the living tar out of the Game Boy Advance and other machines and the PS1.

YELLOW STANDS FOR WHAT............

[AnalFace]

Nothing special without games.

[n4iru]

Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Banana phone~

[Close_Second]

...but for some silly reason I found your comment funny.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Must be an Xbox 360 with a PS3 skin on it.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

[Achievement Unlocked]

W A I T B 3 Y O N D -- D O U C H E B A G S

[xplosneer]

No, the smart ones buy the $200 250GB Hard Drive off newegg.com ;)

Jason, lol funny.

[brothersimon]

Why pay 2k for a crap console? .. just lame.

[Achievement Unlocked]

why pay anything for that turd?!

ask yourself that one.

W A I T B 3 Y O N D -- D O U C H E B A G S

[Tyrael]

b/c its radioactive

[Skizelli]

All it needs is a spoiler and some stickers. Who ever would pay $2K for this is a moron.

[ps3center]

If you guys look at the auction, it says "Shipping for this item takes about 4 - 5 weeks, insurance included."

All this guy does is order them from www.colorwarepc.com .. he's using their images for his auction.

[Fux4Bux]

Well people were paying like $8000 for custom 360's back in the day so this isn't any different. Too much money on their hands.

[Shaka2K6]

Hehe.

So that means it will brake next week?

LOL!!!!!!!

[Enigma_2099]

I wasn't aware that mine was slow... and I sure as hell don't want a YELLOW ONE!!!!

[xbox360elitegamer]

wow, cool deal, but got to be crazy to pay so much for something never seen yet, I don't believe this, just tweaked PS3, just like people tweaked there 360s...
LOL

[americanGTA]

Is there a black one?

[Rama26285]

Well I've read the story and also read through the auction page and I have no clue where they're getting their information from. Firstly the hard drive isn't 200GB, but only 80GB (but does say later on that it's 60GB) which is clearly the standard one so probably isn't even 7200rpm. Also, it says absolutely nowhere that it's 'twice as fast' or anything like that. In fact, the only difference from a standard PS3 is that it's yellow. No big deal, no news here....

EDIT: What are you disagreeing about? It's facts you're disagreeing with lol The article link states the PS3 comes with a 200GB hard drive and that it's two times faster than the original PS3. Then the eBay auction states that it's a 80GB hard drive (and in the smaller info it actually states 60GB) and nowhere about it being twice as fast.

[hitthegspot]

Better yet do a search on the auction for 200. You'll get 1 hit "2007". I feel real bad for the tool that buys this auction expecting something more than a crapy yellow paint job.

[hotrider12]

your right their is nothing true about that yellow ps3 but sprayed yellow. and added a little lie with it, if we all read the small print like rama26285 said its only 60gb. I truely think this article is on here so people can have something to whin about . only a moron would believe the story and only a fvcking fool would buy it.

[hotrider12]

it would be nice is sony offer selections of colors for their ps3's
scarlet red,ocean blue,orange,purple, whatever color you like?
yellow would not be a color I would pick unless it was a taxi

hey!! taxi!!
