Seems pointless but I'm sure there's a reason for that.

It'll most likely lower production costs, and maybe, just maybe, Sony will finally break even with the PS3.

I'm sure it was probably a change in plastic material or removing of some of the plastic innards or something.  Maybe they shrank the PSU a bit.
