For fans of a particular part of the colour spectrum, Sony have announced a new limited edition PlayStation 3 will be released in stores around Australia.

The Scarlet Red PS3 will come in a 320GB variety, and will be bundled with two DualShock 3 controllers in the same matching blushing red. Just like black is a good colour for hiding dirt, so too should red prove useful in blending in with any blood stains inflicted from nearby injuries.

The console will retail for AU $459.95, and you can expect to find it lining stores shelves from 31 May.
