That's a pretty dramatic redesign. The problem with removing the hard drive is compatibility with titles that require an install. Internal memory would need to be greater than 10 gig to allow up to 2 installed games at a time. The faster Blu-ray speed would remove the install requirement for newer PS3's, but it doesn't seem likely that developers will revisit their existing games to patch out the install. Many of them refuse to provide a trophy patch, I suspect that this would take much more work than that. It would be an interesting approach, but I don't think it's likely.

Would you care to provide the source of the rumor, or at least provide the credentials?

This is the first thing that crossed my mind. How do you make the HD SKU confusion even worse? Make a PS3 that can't even run all PS3 games.

Not that chewing on rumours isn't fun, Dodece, but have any of the rumours you've posted here actually come true?
