No white planned for North America currently.

But why buy one only if it is white?

He didn't like the way the 60GB version (black) looked with his equipment in his living room and got rid of it. I told him he could hide a 40GB one behind since it doesn't run as hot, and the remote doesn't need line of site, but he would rather get a white one.
