White PS3 maker expands line to red, silver

Encouraged by the positive reception and high eBay sales price fetched by his white PS3 mod, Michal Berecki is expanding the operation to include silver and red system cases. The new colors are still in the concept stage for now, but Berecki has promised the brightly colored PS3s will be on sale in the coming weeks.

We can't help but be tickled by the idea of a home hobbyist filling in a market niche that a console maker seems unwilling or unable to fill. With three colors planned already, the sky's the limit. What kind of designs would you like to see on a future PS3 case?

I want my Mii on a P$3 >_>

How bout sticking a nade to it? That'd look cool. Just don't pull the pin... or do... it's up to you (pull it)

I'd like to see a Gears of War or Rainbow Six: Vegas design on the PS3! OWNED!!!

FSK405K: Jan 3rd 2007; 11:12AM

Kill Bill theme, digital camouflage pattern, NES Legend of Zelda screenshot.

Dave C: Jan 3rd 2007; 11:19AM

Gears of War or Rainbow Six: Vegas decals and designs would at least make the system look appealing! OWNED!

well, since sony stole the spiderman font for the logo, its only fitting to have a spiderweb-covered ps3. that would look kickbutt with the red shown in the pic.

seedaripper: Jan 3rd 2007; 11:57AM

how did sony 'steal' the spiderman logo?? it's a sony pictures release...bellend :)

Scythe: Jan 3rd 2007; 12:15PM

bad thing would be if the system stopped working and you had to send it off for repairs. then they send you back a refurbished system. also the spiderman font is sony's in a way since they own rights to the movie.

Loi: Jan 3rd 2007; 12:35PM

Scythe, if you had to send your modded PS3 off for repairs, getting a black case back is gonna be a lot better than the bill you're gonna get.

JJ: Jan 3rd 2007; 12:41PM

Since Spiderman is a Sony movie they didn't really have to steal the font. But the theme would be pretty cool.

Voodoo Salami: Jan 3rd 2007; 12:56PM

What about a pink or paisly covered PS3 for all the ppl who are light in the loafers?

360FANMAN: Jan 3rd 2007; 1:14PM

Just put an up close picture of a turd floating in a 7-11 toilet.

Rocket Punch: Jan 3rd 2007; 1:24PM

LOL, if you want one just go to bestbuy.com. apparently they are selling it for $599 (no bundle rap3) or just head to your local bestbuy where they now have stacks of it with no one buying.

It is truly pethatic. I will get 3 wii before i will buy one ps3 at this point.

NICE WORK SONY! and good luck with your business venture!

Now it's starting to make sense. The PS3 market is full of people that desire personal mods, such as this job here. These people are willing to pay for "upgrades" to the design - some would say because all they have to do with the PS3, at least for now, is look at it. These are the same people that think a gaming PC HAS to have neon lights and seven hard drives.

Hmm, that's a pretty small market, isn't it?

JS Beckerist: Jan 3rd 2007; 1:30PM

@FSK405K:
YES! But make the Master Chief punching him in the face too...

White Rose Duelist: Jan 3rd 2007; 1:42PM

How about one that isn't insanely expensive and fits in a space smaller than my kitchen?

samfish: Jan 3rd 2007; 2:27PM

I want one with George Foreman's signature on it.

AwesomeStuff: Jan 3rd 2007; 2:31PM

I want one with Rosie O'Donnels face on it

ill trooper: Jan 3rd 2007; 3:37PM

"Hater Society Club Meeting today at 10:30am"

Paul: Jan 3rd 2007; 4:05PM

How about donating $ from sale the red one towards the aids research movement? Now that would be noteworthy. Sony, are you listening?

Voodoo Salami: Jan 3rd 2007; 5:30PM

"I want one with George Foreman's signature on it."

LOL, that's the best one yet. They should get George to start endorsing their machine. The design looks cool when its upright but looks like a cooking appliance when its sitting flat.

tack: Jan 3rd 2007; 7:18PM

Either write xbox 360 on it or a sign that says "FREE"

Quando: Jan 3rd 2007; 10:21PM

Since the guy doing these is an auto body shop guy, I am going to hold out for the British Racing Green PS3 and then ... not buy anyway, cause I am busy playing somin else.

Pal: Jan 4th 2007; 2:14AM

B33: Jan 9th 2007; 3:06PM

Kind of sad all the PS3 haters have nothing better to do but to tell lame jokes and spread lies...

You'd think they would be playing with the their Xbox 360 (aka Brick) or with their Wii (aka major gimmick)...

midnight0001: Apr 28th 2007; 9:07PM

i don't know why the hell people want to get new colors or designs for their ps3 i have a ps3 and wtf your gonna be watching the tv screen when u r playin a game not the f***ing console
