Sony seems to think so, anyway, according to a bunch of Federal Communications Commission documents leaked over on NeoGAF.<\/p>\n<p>The paperwork puts the new PS3 model number at CECH-4001X, ahead of the current 3000 series of consoles. No information about internal specifications is included, although the FCC label has moved position on the console, suggesting a form factor change of some kind.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhat more speculatively, a recent system update apparently changed the &#8220;Eject disc&#8221; command to &#8220;Remove disc&#8221;, possibly pointing to a top-loader unit, much like the final PSOne and PS2 console revisions.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC filing also asks for a 180-day confidentiality period so Sony can keep things secret, claiming that public disclosure &#8220;might be harmful to our company and would give competitor an unfair advantage in the market.&#8221; That totally worked out.<\/p>\n<h5>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neogaf.com\/forum\/showthread.php?t=481264\" target=\"_blank\">NeoGAF<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/could-sony-be-readying-a-new-slim-ps3-for-gamescom--230763.phtml\" target=\"_blank\">Destructoid<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-40828 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/business\/40828-new-ps3-model-in-the-works\/attachment\/ps3-4001-image-1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ps3-4001-image-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/business\/40828-new-ps3-model-in-the-works\/attachment\/ps3-4001-image-2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ps3-4001-image-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/business\/40828-new-ps3-model-in-the-works\/attachment\/ps3-4001-image-3'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ps3-4001-image-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Sony readying a new PS3 model for Gamescom?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":40859,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,15399,5479,71],"class_list":["post-40828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-ps3","tag-ps3-slim","tag-sony"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40871,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40828\/revisions\/40871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
