It's a complex issue to tackle on while on a message board. Long story short, it turns out that color black is the only one that can handle the fourth dimension, whereas any other color would cause the machine to rip a hole through the time space continuum, casting the user and a whole chunk of his block towards a wormhole. Sort of like dividing by zero.

Joking aside (or not), there is a white PS3.

It was silver when they first announced it. Perhaps it was changed so as to intentionally contrast the competition?

Its threads like these that keep me coming back to the GGD...dvader654

The funny thing is we can ask questions like why is the sky blue ? But oh wait its blue because it reflects the Ocean off the ozone layer. I guess its not the same at all, because the PS3 just is LOL

This might be the true reason

The ps3 is a pretty heavy, over weight system, black is slimming. Kaz told her she looked fat in those pants (the Silver ones)

Im supprised nobody has said this yet....

the PS3 is not just a game console. Its a home entertainment centre blah blah blah yadda yadda etc.

In my house (and almost everyone I know) we have a black HDTV, on a black stand.. which has either chrome legs or is highlighted somewhere with chrome.

The PS3 sits perfectly within this setup without looking out of place.

So Sony chose black for that obvious reason.

I own. :)

That's a popular misconception. Essentially, blue (shorter wavelength) light is scattered by the atmosphere less than red light, so more of it reaches our eyes. Moreinfo.

I'm suprised to see PS3 black when they're so many white supremacists out there (Microsoft, Nintendo).

Oh yeah, that post owned.
