Sony has announced it will make a satin silver 40GB PS3 available only in Japan, to accompany the black and ceramic white versions already available over there.

The Satin Silver Sony Playstation 3 will go on sale on 6 March for ¥39,800 ($362 or about £185).

Potentially problematic with fingerprints, like the black model, we suspect

Sony will also offer the Dualshock 3 controller in matching Satin Silver, but isn't bundling it with the console. Instead, you'll just get the SixAxis controller - minus the rumble.

The new launch follows the release of the Ceramic White PS3 in Japan last year, that has recently been confirmed (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/23/white_ps3_fcc/) for an appearance in the US.

No other colours aside from the standard issue black (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/23/review_sony_playstation_3/) have been announced for launch in the UK.
