Sony has announced that a limited edition Silver PlayStation 2 will be released in North America for $129. The silver version has already been on the market in Japan and Europe for quite a while. It includes a silver PS2 console and a silver controller, same slim size as the familiar black slim PS2 version. No release date was mentioned.
