Sony released a 160GB and 320GB “classic white” PS3 console in Japan last month and it was rumoured, although unconfirmed, that the two PS3 SKUs would be making their way to North America and Europe later this year.

Well, according to Play-Mag, a “very reliable source” from UK retail has tipped them off. According to the insider, the two consoles will ship in the U.K. in October 2010, approximately one month after the release of PlayStation Move.

The source didn’t confirm whether the consoles would be “classic white,” or black. If it is true, we’d expect Sony to confirm the rumour at GamesCon in Germany later this month.
