First word of a new "CECH-3000" model PlayStation 3 surfaced earlier this month. Now a retailer, claiming to have received a briefing on the new model from Sony, has passed along some details.

The CECH-3000B is an updated 320 gigabyte system. It cuts power consumption from 230W to 200W, and cuts weight from 3.0kg to 2.6kg. There are also some external changes to the power and eject buttons, along with the removal of LED lamps, although the retailer report isn't clear about the specifics for this area.

Pricing remains the same as the current model. The new version will be shipped to retailers once current stock runs out.

So it seems to only be a small revision, think it'll be enough for a price cut?  

That's a good diet, going from 3 to 2.6 Kg. External power brick?

PS3 SLIM real come on

$100 price-cut guarantee

I might get a PS3 if the price eventually gets to 200 dollars.

250 with a game I like and I'm sold.

Mr. chinchila you should totally buy a ps3, best investment ever!

If its sexy then I'll pick up my 2nd PS3 :D

Really cool.

That's the reason Amazon was selling the PS3 at $199 and Gamestop at $250 (Black Ops bundle).

sounds good, but should come with a cut instead of a bigger hdd lolol

It's kinda big, I'm not sure where I would put it... But I love racing games, and all the racing games on the Wii suck. But I've tried out some for the PS3 at a couple stores, and they were really good!
