Home beta v1.0 video walkthrough 
New Final Fantasy XIII/Versus XIII footage on Dec. 13th
Rumor: Splinter Cell: Conviction coming to PS3?There have been numerous reports suggesting that the new 40GB PlayStation 3 would be operating on a 65nm Cell processor with improved cooling capabilities, but an official statement has disproved them.
A spokesperson from Sony confirmed to Heise Online that the 40GB PS3 still uses the same 90nm Cell processors as all the other PS3 models, but does feature a better design that allows lower power consumption of 120 to 140 watts. This is in comparison to the 180 to 200 watts of older models. Sony is, however, is still planning to switch to the 65nm processors sometime in the future.
The 40GB PlayStation 3 model is Sony’s answer to the demand for a lower price point for the console. At $399, the 40GB model will feature all of the same features as the current 80GB model but minus the PS2 backwards compatibility, memory card slots and 2 USB ports. Additionally the 40GB PS3 will come bundled with the Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray which is one of the more sought after Blu-ray titles this holiday season. The 80GB version is available for $499.

@default13
What the he*l are you on about?
psn id: gingo... i donno what EA has to do with anything but this kinda sucks cos i thought sony had progressed onto the smaller chips
Near fufure meaning early 2009 perhap's? That would be great to here later on.
never mind, who cares. The ps3 never overheats anywhere and if it does then I will just buy a new ps3. I feel very sorry for u xbox 360 fanbois, ooo wait I dont ha ha ha ha. BUY A PS3 OR A Wii
"My Avatar" Enought said My ps3 doesnt overheat nor does it make that much noise ESPECIALLY TO THE VACUUM CLEANER that people call a 360.
dont rip EA.
ive loved there games for a long time.
..you stupid fanboys
-back to the article-
cooling doesnt need to be improved as far as i know,
suppose it will make some skeptics happy though.
Nice fanboy comment, oppsadoops.
Anyway, the PS3 doesn't need any improvements. I don't know why people go on about having 2 USB ports, 1 would work. Just go out and get a $10 USB hub and say he!!o to your new ports. For those not computer savvy, you can have 127 USB devices attached at once.

Seriously, enough with the filter. I can't type he!!o without editing it.
The new SKU is limiting the powerhorse that is the PS3. I don't think the 40GB model is for true playstation gamers who play both ps2 and ps3 games, i mean its been stripped down quite a bit! It will sell well though i think!
stripped down???? besides...for $20 more you can buy a PS2, and the 40GB PS3, for a cheaper price than the 60GB was, and the 80GB is now....
