Anyone who's seen SponG's report about the new PS3 model should already have been expecting all of this.
But after reading the report a few days ago, Rumor Reporter Bruce has more details to report on the new PlayStation 3, as he has obtained an un-edited copy of the initial FCC report. Here are the things to note that's not in the previous reports on this topic:
1.) The new PS3 model uses less power than the other models. This one uses 3A (Power Measurement), while the older version use 3.3A and 3.2A respectively.
2.) The new PS3 will include a brand-new controller, most likely the recently announced Dual-Shock 3 (this is proven in the document)
3.) The new PS3's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware has seen a significant upgrade, possibly allowing for longer distances and even faster connections.
4.) He has heard dripplings of a 65nm chipset coming soon. Could this model be the very first in the line of quieter, less-power consuming PS3 models?
All of the images have been attached below. But let's get to the point. Will there be a 40GB PS3 for $399? Maybe. Will there be a new PS3 announced in the next two weeks? Count on it.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
Totally ridiculous comment.
The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.
Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.
Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.
And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.
You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
This looks like a great way to play.

If sony is losing money with every ps3 sold...
"something else has to give" .
ROFL
your telling me the system that is going to cost 100 dollars less is going to have
1. A controller that doesn't come out till next year
2. Better Wifi, and blue tooth
3. AND a new chip!
ya ok
This kind of news are needed to overshadow the XCOW momentum. Yes the 65nm models are up and it draw less power!
Buy it for holidays shopping! The more the merrier. :)
Let's finish the XCOW 360 a cowboys technology that breaks.
it will be stupid for putting a 40 GB HDD in it... because 40GB HDD 's production costs is exactly same as 60 and 80 now days.. may be 1 or 2 bucks difference..
so they must be stupid for not using bigger storage for same price..
I think they will cut 60GB and 80 GB price to 399 and 499.. and then sell this one with motorstorm or sth else in 599..
may be 120 or 160 GB HDD ,65 nm chips.. Dual shock 3 and a game for 599 would be amazing deal..
and 80 GB for 499 with 2 games ... is amazing too ..
just remember Kaz hirai Words.. they wont cut prices to 399 .. they will make starter packs with more stuff in same price..
If this doent get to the top 3 im declraing this place xbot controlled!
