GAME has secured the exclusive rights to the White 320Gb PS3 in the UK.
The SKU will include a white console, two white DualShock controllers and a 90 day subscription to PlayStation Plus, which normally retails for £12.99.
Also in the box is an AC power cable, one AV cable and one USB cable.
It is currently available to pre-order (http://www.game.co.uk/en/playstation-3-320gb-slim-white-172351?cm_mmc=Twitter-_-Digital-_-WhitePS3Console-_-Link) for £239.99 and will arrive in the UK on June 29th.
The SKU had previously been announced as being exclusive to GameStop (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/white-ps3-console-a-gamestop-exclusive-in-uk/084492). MCV has contacted Sony to clarify.
UPDATE: Sony has issued MCV with the following statement regarding the two retail deals for the White PS3:
"Our office in Ireland negotiated a separate deal in September with GameStop. We believe this was successful and the stock has sold through.
"Here in the UK from July 6th, Game will be selling the White PS3 including the two white Dualshock controllers and a free three months of PlayStation Plus. They are selling a different value bundle and are the current UK exclusive partner for Classic White PlayStation 3."
