Japanese models often use the O button for \"enter\" and X for \"back,\" and include unique color variants like Satin Silver and Ceramic White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCircle means \"Yes\": For the PS3 and earlier consoles in Japan, the Circle button was used for \"OK\" or \"Confirm,\" while the Cross button was for \"Cancel\".
