Those are not limited edition systems at all they are just system bundles there a big difference on bundle and LE systems. If you want a true LE system there plenty but most if not all are Japanese are 1 of a kind you never going to get your hands on anyway. If you want more information hit me up i know just about ever limited edition ps3 out there.

@rockchalk I'd just wait on a bargain deal from your awesome Black Friday sales in the US.


@Geralds I don't believe any of the Limited Edition in Japan or Asia are unobtainable, I've always found a way of acquiring one or able to one way or another...it's never been almost impossible. Some may be more challenging, but I think the PSP/Vita LE are harder to obtaining or way more expensive! (I'm looking at you FF7 and MGS PSPs)

I was speaking of the Japanese/Asian LE consoles, not the North American one (there's only been one officially released at retails stores). And I wasn't counting special custom consoles only made for contests and charities. I had to presume @rockchalk was inquiring about PS3 consoles available to buy at retail stores, and not elite consoles that are extremely rare with only 10 or less released off-market. It sounds as if @rockchalk is a new PS3 gamer to me?!

Sorry @rockchalk, I think your best option is just to get a standard PS3 console with maybe a game bundle or whatever the best deals are available in the US. If you're planning predominantly game on it, you may as well just get a local console rather than a limited edition from a different region.

This is the only true LE PS3 console released in North American retail market, and probably not worth gaming on unless you only want it in your "collection".

@geralds None of the pictures work for me with your links sorry, all I get are "403 Permission Denied".

Anyway, I think there's something being misinterpreted with my exposition therefore I atone for the inherent misdirection.

@rockchalk, I hope you've understood what I've posted. Thanks.

I think rockchalk might want a system that he can walk into a store & purchase over the counter not somewhere you send your PS3 in and have it gold plated or whatever.




Aint that right rock?
