The FCC has tested a couple of new PlayStation 3 consoles a few days before Sony’s E3 2010 press conference. What could these new PS3s be? I’m guessing that they’ll use the PS3 Slim housing with updated CPUs and GPUs that run cooler and are cheaper to make — die shrinks are good like that.
Considering that PS3s have been difficult to find for the last few months, I hope the latest die process allows Sony to finally meet demand in 2010. Will the new models be accompanied by a price cut? I sincerely doubt it considering that Sony just slashed prices last August and price cuts are usually not announced at this time of the year.
Now it’s your turn to speculate! What are these new PS3s?!?
Brilliant, magical devices at an unbelievable price! Nah….
If Sony paid Jobs 100 million he would do their keynote and push the PS3 ahead of the Wii. You know he could!
@ Smartguy;
Agreed. If a company is really intelligent, the would hire Jobs to use his reality distortion field to market products to its consumers.

Actually, I think the PS3 shortage isn't from demand. I think Sony is clearing out inventory for these new models. Didn't want to say anything before, but this kind of hints at it.
Move versions of the current PS3s plus maybe some dye shrinks for cost efficiency?
Well one could only hope that the PS3 is selling good. But thanks to Sandrock's wonderful bubble buble burster, it might not be it. Then I thought mebbie they're trying to one up the comp with new colors for the ps3, but there's no testing for that. So Idk, I'll need to dig around.
@Cami
My point is that they may be trying to pull a PS3 slim again and release the Move versions of their consoles the day of announcement. Seeing as there is no date on when, I would say that is a win? (lol @ myself for the unintentional rhyme)
