Note: this is not a thread asking about opinions whether I should buy a PS3 or not.

Well, I bought my nice black PS3 slim 120 GB last summer, but Ive already used up most of its storage now. So I want to buy a white 320GB PS3 slim this summer.

But I think PS4 won't be far away, when will it be released? 2013? 2014? I want to enjoy my white PS3 at least 1 year :) and wil 320GB be more than enough if PS4 releases soon?

Buy a larger hard drive and save yourself over 200 dollars.

Well since you want the white one, get it. Maybe trade in your black one towards the purchase;) As for the PS4, it hasn't been announced yet. 2013/2014 is way too early. Sony is standing by the PS3's ten year plan... that means at least 2016. Besides, the PS3 is just hitting it's stride and will only continue to do well. I'm sure Sony is already working on a PS4, but only in the very early stages... like how do we not make the same mistake next time?!?

PS4 is still a ways off. If you want a white PS3 then go for it. I have a white PS3 myself (FFXIII Lighting Edition) and love it.

Sure! either sell your old one, buy a white one and upgrade it to 500GB or more, better yet, keep em both. dont mind the next Playstation yet... it will be around by 2015-2017, so you still have several years to enjoy your PS3.

besides, i think its not good to buy the "PS4" right upon release, better models comes out after a year or two...

Not to be the tool that goes this route but I guess I am... You should upgrade your HD and use what's left to get a 360, there are a lot of good exclusives over there, and multiplatform games tend to drop in price faster and farther.

I still don't get why people seem to think Sony's 10 year plan means that there will not be another PS released until the 10 year mark. That just means Sony plans on selling the PS3 for at least 10 years. Sony usually releases a new console every 6 years (PS-1994, PS2-2000, PS3-2006). Which would mean the new PS4 will probably come out in 2012.

Back to the original question. I'd buy the white one if you can afford it. I know I will be buying the white one if they ever bring it out here in the states.

thanks for that :)

imo the white PS3 slim looks better :D

it will sure looks better in my living room since I only have wood, black and white (my old wii) colour. Adding a silver doesn't suit. ;)
