"Charcoal black"

If you wanna be my PS3, it don't matter if you're black or white.

Shouldn't it have been called "That Was That" instead?

Ug, reeks of shameless cash-in. I wonder if Jackson's family/estate will see any of the money to pay off his huge debts.

What next, the Jade Goody Memorial DS?

Well apparently the vast majority of his debts have been cleared now anyway via This Is It ticket sales (which very few people asked for a refund for as the tickets are now collector's items), the massive surge in his album sales, merchandise, etc etc.

Surely 2 special editions, Ebony & Ivory, would have made more sense. Simplez.

"Charcoal black"

When you buy it, it will be black but mysteriously turn white after a few years.

(sorry)

They should package it with one white powerglove adapted to work with the ps3....hell you'd never use it but I don't think that that's really the point of this release anyway.

Given how much his dad's been trying to cash in on it since the moment he died...

@schnide : No, sorry... I guess the joke was just too easy

EDIT: Or rather to hard to resist.

Shouldn't it be white and have a detachable heavily engineered front?

MS will counter this at next E3 by announcing that they have resurrected MJ and then scoot him forward onto the stage.

What do Michael Jackson and Santa Claus have in common?

They both leave kid's bedrooms with empty sacks.

To all the people making sick jokes - the next time someone in your family dies someone can make a sick joke about them and then we'll see how funny it is. Have some respect ffs.
