Forums - Sony - New PS3 models outed by FCC just days ahead of E3

Gilgamesh on 12 June 2010

With the big E3 Expo set to kick off in just four days, we must admit to being more than a little intrigued at finding a new PS3 model bumble its way out of the FCC test labs. PlayStation 3 models CECH-2501A and CECH-2501B are both certified for 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR differing only in hard disk drive configurations. We're also seeing a pair of PS3 DECH-2500A and DECH-S2500A debugging stations -- interesting since a debug unit is typically only required when there's been a change in the chips on the motherboard. Feel free to speculate as we prepare for E3 to kick off on June 15th.

We've known about a new model on the way since March or so.  It's a big reason why the PS3 has been supply restrained.

You're thinking of a different model CECH-2101A, those have been available in stores for a month or two now.

I've been hearing of a slimmer slim since March releasing this summer.  (Maybe I am mistaken and you're correct though?)
