White PlayStation 3 Coming in March?

Over the last week, retailers across the US have been reporting that they've stopped receiving 40GB PlayStation 3 Spider-Man 3 bundles. Instead, they've been told to expect 40GBs without a movie. Weird. It's being said that Circuit City employees are receiving PlayStation 3's with a model number of CECHH01. That is the same model number for the White PlayStation 3's in Japan. Could a White PlayStation 3 soon be emerging for the US?
