Rumor: New PS3 model photographed [update: more pics]

What seems to be a picture of a weird-looking new PS3 popped up on the site of Anatel (the Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications). The image depicts a PS3-labeled device with a ridged texture and what appears to be a sliding panel on top – perhaps indicating a cheaper top-loading disc drive.

We can’t access the image directly – the above version is from Tecnoblog – but the database does bring up a document from Sony Brasil making reference to products CECH-4011A, CECH-4011B and CECH-4011C- which Tecnoblog says corresponds to systems with 16 (!), 250, and 500GB storage. The latest PS3 Slim is the CECH-30xx series

Recently, diagrams popped up on the American FCC website also suggesting a new model of the PS3. Sony declined to comment following that discovery, but we’re checking in again today.

Update: Tecnoblog has updated with more photographs of the device from different angles. We’ve got one more after the break, but head to the site to see the rest!Continue reading Rumor: New PS3 model photographed [update: more pics]Rumor: New PS3 model photographed [update: more pics] originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:55:00 EST.
