FCC Filing Reveals New PS3 Model

Several weeks ago we reported on the rumor that Sony would release a new model of the PS3 in time for the holidays, with a smaller, 40GB hard drive and a price point of $399.99. Now an FCC filing has been discovered for a new PlayStation model number, the CECHG01. While technical details and pictures are not present, the FCC report shows a diagram on pages 8 and 9, showing what had been tested on the system. As DailyTech has pointed out, the unit shows only two USB ports instead of the normal form, and no card reader is present, which could certainly indicate a trimmed down system for a trimmed down price point. We still don't have a hard disk size, though 40GB sounds like a reasonable bet. Personally I liked it better back when you bought a console and it was the same one everyone else had, but that's just me. more »

Dreaming of a White PS3 Christmas

Remember back when Sony first introduced the PS3 in multiple colors? There was black of course, and silver, but my personal favorite was the shiny white model. Instead of waiting until Sony releases it as a Japanese-only exclusive somewhere down the road (speculation, but you know they'll do it), PS3 Center has gone ahead and made their own.

Michael Birecki from PS3 Center did this in his father's body shop, after realizing that the PS3 he was planning to auction wouldn't sell worth a damn just by itself. He has pictures of the whole process posted on their site, as well as a link to the eBay auction, which is up past $1,000 as of this writing. more »

Amazon Reports More Japanese Want PS3 Than Wii

At least according to an Amazon Japan poll. Pre-order registration for the 60GB PlayStation 3 edges out Nintendo's Wii in the popularity contest. Interest in the 20GB PS3 is significantly lower. The 60GB PS3 comes with an open price, but rumor has that it will retails for around 70,000 yen (US $600). Unfazed, consumers are registering for the product in droves. This proves one thing: many Japanese folks are made of money. Brian Ashcraft more »
