Sony announced a white 40GB Sony PS3 for the Japanese market last week. If you want to own a ceramic white PS3 instead of the depressingly black standard PS3, you can pre-order one on Asian video game exporter Play-Asia.

Currently Play-Asia offers the white PS3 inside a bundle with Shin Sangoku Musou 5 (aka Dynasty Warriors 6). The official bundle includes the game and some collectibles only Dynasty Warriors 6 fans can appreciate. The price is $499.90.
The ship date is November 11th, which is the official release date for the 40GB Sony PS3 in Japan.

Play-Asia also lists a white stand-alone PS3, but you cannot pre-order it yet.

Bad news for Europeans: Play-Asia is not shipping the white PS3 to countries in the EU.
