A bunch of new press releases from SCEI.

SCEI has gone and released a bunch of new press releases announcing their new Winter Campaign. This only applies to the Japanese market.

The most significant of which is that they are dropping the prices of the 50000 model to 19,800 yen and the BB Pack which includes the HDD + Network Adapter reduced to 29,800 yen. These prices take effect as of November 13th.

Hopefully SCEA and SCEE will follow suit for the Winter Season.

The other 2 announcements pertain to a Limited Edition Winter Racing Console which is all decked out in white and bundled with the GT4 Prologue game for 22,000 yen. This puppy is on sale December 4th.

The last announcement is the release of peripherals (controllers, Vertical Stand, Memory Cards, and USB Keyboard) in other colors white/black.

The announcements can be read here

*EDIT* New model number for the Winter version is SCPH-55000GT with Vertical Stand and 1 White Controller and another special Gundam Gold Pack all decked out in Gold with the Z Gundam Game, Gundam Memory Card, Special Vertical Stand and 2 Gold Controllers. This one is also on sale December 4th and the model number is SCPH-55000GU for 35,000 yen

I like the colors, but $300 is a lot.
