Slimline PS3 Bluetooth headset incoming?

Sony's PS3 went from chubby to slim; isn't it about time the companion Bluetooth headset lost some of its tubbiness too?  A Kotaku tipster spotted a promo sleeve for what looks to be the second-gen Sony PS3 Bluetooth earpiece, with a $49.99 price-tag and what looks to be simpler fascia controls.

The spec list looks the same as the current headset, so it appears this is primarily an aesthetic update rather than a functional one.  No word on when the refreshed earpiece will go on sale, but we're guessing it's sooner rather than later if promotional materials are already out in the wild.
