As vaio said, all this proves is that Sony has changed some components in the PS3, we can only guess its for cheaper parts because it makes no financial sense to go to the effort of designing, building and getting validated a new design if it didn't cost less than previously.

No consumer electronics can be sold in the US without FCC approval. So a product is designed, a limited production run is done and tested, and if passed then full production starts. If it fails then its redesigned and the process starts again.

i just hope new colours are released instead of just black.

it´s make them in limited numbers and get approval then full production after approval I would imagine

Given that the shortages etc. seem to be specific to North America, I get the feeling they may have a couple of God of War bundles up their sleeves.

We'll see what Destination PlayStation reveals.

it just means the 120 gb one and the 250 gb one, the components are gonna change to make it profitable thats why you see TWO models.

good news for sony and shareholders and the ps3.

Either...

New, cheaper parts.
or
New cheaper parts + 120GB discontinued, 250 made standard, 500 introduced.

how about.. different Colours? ...gimme a Pink PS3! nao!

Hope so, I would love a red one.

Hopefully they will include HDMI 1.4. Once that happens I will be replacing my 60GB NA launch system.
