Japan gets the PS3 Slim in a new color, following white and blue last year: Sony announced [JP] two new models that will be available in “Satin Silver” today (that’s the same color Sony introduced for the fat PS3 back in 2008).

Buyers will get to choose between a version with a 160GB ($366) and a 320GB ($427) HDD. Needless to say, Sony didn’t change anything on the technical side. Japanese PS3 fans can also get a vertical stand that will cost $24 (pictured below).

The PS3 Slim in Satin Silver will hit Japanese stores on March 10, but don’t expect the white model to show up anywhere else anytime soon.
