FCC Approves New PS3 SKU

While it's based on the 80GB architecture (CECHE01), Sony has apparently given a new PS3 SKU to the Federal Communications Commission for approval. The short-term confidentiality will expire on May 14th of this year, but hopefully Sony will provide an official statement before then.

As of this writing it's still unknown whether this new model is part of an upcoming bundle (MGS4 perhaps?), the introduction of a new color (eg, a white 80GB PS3), or simply an updated version of the internal hardware (new Bluetooth module, WLAN antenna, etc).

Could be either the MGS4 bundle or the White PS3 bundle.

Lifendz5907d ago

I still think the 60gb is the best thing going. Full backwards computability makes all the difference...to me at least.

WAR_MACHINE775907d ago

Its probably just the same old 80 gig with a new, cheaper parts revision.

dragunrising5907d ago

I would hope backwards compatibility is included in the new 80 gig. I have the 40 gig and appreciate that it uses the more energy efficient chips; would be nice if the newer chips and backwards compatibility made it into the model.

I was thinking about upgrading my hard drive. Does anyone know how to do it without the loss of data. I know I'm going to screw something up.

King20085907d ago

The Metal Gear bundle but I hope that if its the same as the 80 gig it keeps the limited BC because some ps2 users may still want their old library of games to be playable. It'll make it easier for them to upgrade.

SL1M DADDY5907d ago

I bet my next paycheck on this one.

meepmoopmeep5907d ago

they should just get rid of the 40GB. price the 80 like the 40 and bring out the white ones for those who want it. i don't understand how they couldn't have added BC in the 40 when the 80 is software emulated. couldn't they just install the emulator? i mean, it wouldn't cost anything if the program is already made.

Gorgon5907d ago

Its not totally software emulated. The limited BC SKUs still have one of the PS2 chips. The totally BC SKUS have both PS2 chips. The 40GB have none of the chips.

crunchie1015907d ago

Gorgon, you're right - why did someone disagree with you?

Idiots.

JoelR5907d ago

As Gorgon said
40 gig does not have the RS chip

the 80 gig and 60 euro has the RS chip (and use Software emulation for the EE)

the 20 and 60 gig (NA and Japan) uses the EE + RS combo

Gorgon5907d ago

JoeIR:

Are you sure the new 80GB PAL/US SKU will have the RS chip? haven't heard about that.

JoelR5906d ago (Edited 5906d ago )

Current models only - I can't prognosticate about future models.
Should have made it more clear
I meant the currently sold 80 gig model in NA and Japan
and the 60 gig in the EU

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy012d ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
