FCC filing for PS3 updated with white model
A SCEA rep responded: "As you may know, there are many FCC filings like this each year. We haven't made any announcements about upcoming PS3 plans, but are comfortable with our current two sku strategy. We are continually evaluating the market trends and consumer input to determine the appropriate PS3 models for our territory. "

Blu-raySavings.com lists new PS3 model
Earlier this week, Sony spun us into a frenzy when an FCC filing was published detailing some features of the CECHG01 model. At this point, we're not too sure what Sony's waiting for as it keeps declining to comment on one of the worst-kept secrets of recent memory. Just go ahead and announce the thing already!

Wireless Rock Band guitar crashes through FCC's gates
Somewhat perplexing is the picture of a USB dongle (pictured after the break). Because of the Bluetooth technology, the guitar shouldn't need an intermediary device to connect to the PlayStation 3; however, the user manual included with the FCC exhibit clearly show the dongle as part of the setup process. Perhaps it'll become clearer closer to Rock Band's holiday launch.

Sony working on new 80GB PS3
Xbox 360 Elite is Microsoft's attempt at matching PLAYSTATION 3's impressive hardware features. While the Elite doesn't provide wi-fi support like the premium PS3, nor does it feature integrated HD disc support, it does offer a whopping 120GB of hard disk space, dwarfing the 60GB PS3 hard drive.According to a recent FCC filing, it appears Sony is going to modify the current PS3 and include a larger 80GB hard drive: "The model CECHE01 to be added by the difference of the capacity of hard disk." Although this doesn't match the Elite's hard drive, it does add even more value to the $599 PS3. Current users need not feel short-changed, though. Unlike 360 users, PS3 owners are free to install almost any hard drive into their system, without having to pay ridiculous prices for proprietary peripherals ($180 for 120GB hard drive?!).

PS3 passes FCC testing! Our baby is growing up...
What's the FCC? Basically, it's the regulatory body in the U.S. regulating communication through radio, television, wire, cable and satellite. The FCC has made the right decision in allowing the PS3 to pass. The final clock speed of the cell processor is 3.2GHz. This speed is now set in stone -- we don't have to worry about any more rumors about this or that being downgraded. It's official. It's great. If you really want to, you can download and check out the FCC report, or you can take our word for it: the PS3 is ready to go! All it needs is a home.
