Sony Making a Silver 40 GB PS3 ?

SCEE confirmed to PSNow! that the new 40GB model will have a matt finish instead of the regular glossy one we see on 60Gb and 80Gb units.

But the true surprise came when they told PS3Now! that the new 40GB will come in Satin Silver.

"Yes, the finish on the 40GB model is a satin silver whereas the 60GB has a shiny finish."

Is Sony hiding a Satin Silver PS3 from us? Or is this a simple mistake from a SCEE PR rep...?

1.1 - Skeptical, don't count on it

Geez, n4g users absolutely jump on even the slightest hint of rumor.

You guys know that picture is from E3 a couple of years back right? I think the PR rep just mispoke. If it was going to be silver, then don't you think they would have said so on Friday?

More importantly why is the Australian 40gb black? Sony wouldn't make a silver one for Europe and a Black one for Australia, that would just be dumb.

See here, the Australian 40gb is black (not silver):

@jackfatal

nope, they made a cheaper version without PS2 backwards compatibility. For a full BC, you have to add some extra money and buy a 60GB version. But it isn't much, if you really want it.

IMHO it's better that they took out BC to make it cheaper than that they took out WiFi or made us pay for online.

Not that I care, I already have the 60GB one.

Then just keep a PS2 around. You can get one for like $50 now used. Thats cheaper than buying a game. I think I might get another PS3 for my new DLP that I have in my game room. I have a 20 gig on my 42 inch LCD that I play now but man this thing looks sweet.

360 would have been dead before Gears launched (they had Oblivion and GRAW - we have Resistance and NGS). Be patient my friend. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will the PS3's library.

i got a question for you. when did you decide to start calling the ps3 a failure? i mean just a week ago you were all pro sony now you're calling them a failure. ???? i guess the xbox fans pleading son's doom finally got you. oh and did you sell your PS3 like you said you were gonna do? i just gotta ask because you were saying you were gonna do that. ^^ any who. i hope you rethink what youre doing because it looking very pathetic doing what youre doing. and i'm not gonna click the disagree button but more like voice it\. because it's pointless to doubt it. Sony is now on a road for success and this holiday season is gonna be seriously interesting and we'll seriously are gonna Sony come out looking quite interesting this holiday.

Thats simply not true man. Sony MIGHT outperform mainstream brands such as samsung, phillips etc. However I would not take your fanboyish word for it unless I see some proof, link? It is NOT true when compared to high-end brands such as NAD, Dennon, Bose, B & O and the likes of them. Maybe your too poor to ever have heard of em? Stop beeing a dummas fanboy. Sony makes good products, agree, expecially video games consoles ;) and maybe even hdtvs, but dont say stuff like that when it is NOT TRUE.

I cant wait for the 40 gig to launch that way most of you sony fangirls will finally get a ps3 and then find out how mediocre it is in its current state. Defending a system you don't own is just plain stupid.

you guys are reading it wrong. he is referring to the chrome piece that's on the 60 and 80gb ps3s.

"Yes, the finish on the 40GB model is a satin silver whereas the 60GB has a shiny finish."

So the little shiny piece is going to be satin silver instead of chrome "shiny" finish.
