PS3 Slim CECH-2000B 250GB Model Uncovered at FCC Site

Today we uncovered a second PS3 Slim model CECH-2000B (not to be confused with the already known CECH-2000A 120GB model) on the FCC site that Sony tried to hide under a company called Sand Dollar Enterprise, Inc. of 1518 Ascension Drive in San Mateo CA.

Now, Sand Dollar Enterprise, Inc is represented by SCEA's General Council, Riley Russell...

I hope this model will feature a Chrome finish instead of the Matt Finnish

darthv725362d ago

the current 120gb will be known as the "arcade" version and the bigger 250gb will be the pro.

Mo0eY5362d ago

I love the matte. Chrome is too finger-printy.

cool85363d ago

is going for 299.99 (which it probably wont) it will be KILLER!

darthv725362d ago

going to come out at the higher $399 price point.

randomwiz5362d ago (Edited 5362d ago )

wow... $399 suddenly seems like so much to pay

Anyway, its probably the current "phat" 160gb w/ uncharted + pain

except this time I think its going to be 250gb w/ uncharted 2 + flower?? @399

ThanatosDMC5362d ago

I bought a 320gb from microcenter for $59.99 guess, it better come with something worth the extra $100?

Godmars2905362d ago

Like a 360's HDD comes with more for the money?

I'm sure some rube is willing to pay someone else $40 to switch out PS3 HDD.

Heck, i would have gone into business doing it if I had thought of it sooner.

RememberThe3575362d ago

A while after the current 160Gb has sold out.

PirateThom5362d ago

If the 250GB SKU was $399, it might be one they use to bundle certain games, say Uncharted 2 or God of War 3 in the future.

I'm not saying this will happen, but the 160GB does come with a game packed in.

dragunrising5362d ago

Why release 2 SKU's? A larger hard drive alone isn't enough incentive to get a 250 GB. If there is a game pack in and wireless N, I'm all over it.

Overall, I really like the look of the PS3 Slim. The matte finish took a minute to get used to, but already I want to sell my PS3 fat.

ThanatosDMC5362d ago

OH! You're awesome to remind me that... i hope they fix the PS3 eating our bandwidths. I hope it just runs like how our computers do. Everytime im downloading something on the PS3 everything internet related slows down.

If this is true, then Super_Secret was correct all along about the 120gb and 250gb slim ps3's. He sure was right in backing up his claim about in game cross chat not making it in F.W. 3.0 but might come before the end of the year.

ThanatosDMC5362d ago

Yeah, i wonder what other inside scoops he has for us...

TheColbertinator5362d ago

Yeah he was the real deal.I hope he comes to N4G again sometime

OgTheClever5362d ago

He even talked about removing the ability to install another OS, which I didn't really believe at the time. Apparently he will appear in a few months elsewhere on the internet with a different name to reveal more Sony secrets...

saint_john_paul_ii5362d ago (Edited 5362d ago )

yup, he was very legit. thats why im not really worried about cross game audio chat anymore.

PirateThom5362d ago

That guy pretty much nailed everything, the HDD configs of the slims, the fact there was only one feature removed, but he said cross game chat wouldn't be in the "next" update, it would be one before the end of the year.

Rumor has it, the PS3 Slim will drop to $99 to compete with the 360 arcade!

Just kidding, I know. Rumors after rumors after rumors.

Especially since after this big one was finally put to rest, more pop up.

Mo0eY5362d ago

And the bots looked to over their console, sank their heads, and sighed... again...

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis6h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast4h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 1h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 2h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 2h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK23h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast5h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake22h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon17h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
