Back then they, boasted all of these BS claims then pulled back once the reality of their situation came in. They also showed us three colors, but now their offering one.

I would be be willing to bet that although Nintendo's initial launch colors will be black (and probably white), the other colors shown will be released later. kind of like they did with the orange GC a few months after launch.

As far as the Model T, they're referring to the quote from Henry: "it's available in your favorite color, so long as your favorite color is black." I'm roughly paraphrasing, but that was the gist. Model T's not black are aftermarket paint jobs...

You can see lots more of the PS3 here in G4TV video footage from Leipzig. Watch the bulging muscles and the little white gloves, hear the dramatic music and see the dramatic lighting as the premium model is lifted from its case and turned at all angles for everyone to see. Sadly, unlike the promise of the opening, there is no sauerkraut or lederhosen.

]]> <![CDATA[Like the Model T Ford, The PS3 Comes Only In Black]]> I seem to remember Sony did the same thing with the PSP. There were lots of early publicity shots of models carrying around PSPs of various colours, but so far all we've had is black and white.

Then again, Nintendo showed off a fair few different colours for the Wii, but it looks like Black is going to be the launch colour.

]]> <![CDATA[Like the Model T Ford, The PS3 Comes Only In Black]]> Of course, at certain times the model T was available at in a variety of colours that weren't black.

Anyway, with the PS3... to be honest, I never expected all three colours to be available on launch day. Did anyone really think that?

One thing's for sure - that black & silver two-tone look for the premium version of the console is rather fugly.
