You slap a new coat (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/12/white-ps3-coming-to-europe-and-australia-in-november/) of paint (http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/14/titanium-blue-ps3-hits-japan-on-november-25th-long-awaited-raci/) on it and call it a "limited edition," (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/02/sonys-golden-ninokuni-magical-edition-playstation-3-heads-for/) that's how. Which is precisely what Sony's gotten up to with three newly colored versions of its PlayStation 3. Hitting the electronics giant's homeland this November 17th are a duo of 320GB consoles, offered up in either Splash Blue or Scarlet Red, that come paired with a similarly hued DualShock controller and ¥29980 ($390) asking price. The prettiest of the bunch, however, won't be released until December 15th in Japan, and that's the Final Fantasy XIII-2 Lightning Edition Ver.2. Timed to coincide with the retail debut of the Square Enix-made sequel, that console (pictured above) also boasts a 320GB HDD, bundled copy of the game and a plain old black controller -- all for ¥37960 ($494). If you need to add a little spice back into your gaming life, it might be time to get your import on.
