Yesterday at the GamesCom event, Sony unveiled the long anticipated Slim PS3, noting the console would include a 120GB HDD and will launch on September 1st with a pricetag of $299 USD/ 299 EU/ £249 / 29,980 YEN.
The Slim will feature a 32 percent smaller and 36 percent lighter form factor and will also consume 34 percent less power. Notably, the Slim removes the otherOS ability (addition of Linux on partition) but adds Bravia Sync so users can control the PS3 via their Sony HDTV.
Today, PS3NEWS is reporting that a CECH-2000B Slim model has been filed with the FCC featuring a 250GB hard drive.
The article says the documents were filed by Sand Dollar Enterprise a company "represented by SCEA's General Council, Riley Russell."
It is all speculation as to when the new model will hit stores, but expect it to cost $350-400 USD when it does.
