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

darthv725355d ago

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

Mo0eY5355d ago

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

cool85355d ago

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

darthv725355d ago

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

randomwiz5355d ago (Edited 5355d 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

ThanatosDMC5355d ago

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

Godmars2905355d 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.

RememberThe3575355d ago

A while after the current 160Gb has sold out.

PirateThom5355d 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.

dragunrising5354d 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.

ThanatosDMC5354d 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.

ThanatosDMC5355d ago

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

TheColbertinator5355d ago

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

OgTheClever5355d 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_ii5355d ago (Edited 5355d ago )

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

PirateThom5355d 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.

Sarcasm5355d ago

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.

Mo0eY5355d ago

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

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 5h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai23h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing699h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle8h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal8h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Abnor_Mal4h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing17h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
