To commemorate the release of Yakuza 3 in Japan, Sony and Sega are bundling the game with a special edition ceramic white 80GB PlayStation 3, complete with a very detailed dragon decal emblazoned on top. If that wasn’t enough, the pack is being offered for ¥45,980 ($495), which according to Siliconera saves you ¥2,000 ($21.50) than when buying the game and console separate. You can expect that price tag to skyrocket on eBay, though, as only 10,000 of these are being made. Sure, it’s no price drop, but man is it gorgeous.

Maybe, if you’re a little off, you want to have an Xbox 360 but would like your friends to think you own a Playstation 3. Why? That’s a great question. But hey, I’m not one to judge.

The PS360 is an Xbox 360 stuffed inside a Playstation 3 case. It had to be modified a bit in order to get the disc drive in, so it’s definitely not a perfect fit, but it should be enough to fool any casual observer. And the best part is that you don’t even have to make it yourself, as it’s available on eBay right now. How much is this crazy contraption worth to you? $100? $300? $10,000?! Let’s see what this snags.

According to the Wall Street Journal, US sales of the PlayStation 3 in November declined 19 percent from the previous month. This decline comes at a time when Nintendo Wii sales have doubled and Xbox 360 sales have risen 8%. In Black Friday sales alone, the Xbox 360 reportedly outsold the PS3 three to one and we all know the Wii continued to dominate. No holiday rebound is projected for Sony as analysts expect December PS3 sales to continue to remain flat while sales of its competitors are expected to remain strong. Sony is also expected to miss its goal of selling 10 million consoles in the current fiscal year ending in March 2009. Despite the somber projections by analysts Sony remains optimistic, focusing on the console’s year to date sales which have risen 60% and stating that “it is working hard to close the quarter strong”. With sales sagging and competition heating up, will 2009 be the year Sony finally cuts the price on the PS3?

We caught sight of Psyclone’s WildCharger-based TouchCharge kit for the Xbox 360 a few weeks ago but, in case you missed it, the company is also offering similar kits for the PlayStation 3 and Wii. At $49.99 the PS3 version is actually the cheapest of the lot, due to the fact that it’s able to use the controller’s own rechargeable battery, while the $59.99 Wii version and $69.99 Xbox 360 version each include some rechargeable batteries of their own courtesy of Psyclone. The charging pads themselves are, of course, interchangeable, and you can even charge more than one device on a single pad, although finding the necessary controller adapters separately seems to be another matter.
