Speculations to rife since two new PS3 units were tested at FCC labs
While Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 is less than a week away, in come the details about new PlayStation 3 models being tested at Federal Communications Commission's labs. Engadget reported that two new models were being tested for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips with different hard drive configurations. So, looks like we may get to see new PlayStation 3 models being announced at E3 or maybe later in the Fall when PlayStation Move comes out.
Two months back, we reported the PlayStation 3 Slim refresh with 40nm RSX GPU chip. And now, yet another refresh was spotted at FCC test labs where in CECH-2501A and CECH-2501B models were certified for Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g). Both these models had different hard drive configurations.
Apart from these two models, two debug models DECH-2500A and DECH-2500B were also listed. The debug units would be carrying new hardware.
We've got to wait for official word of announcement from Sony on these two new models.
