Judging from these tags from the FCC Sony is going to be pushing out a new 80GB model. It will feature a slightly repositioned Bluetooth module, a reverse F antenna for the same, and the 80GB HDD. The model number will remove the “A” from the original 60GB’s model number of CECHA01 and will replace it with an E making it CECHE01.

With all of the downloadable content, game patches, games, music, videos and all that other crazy stuff that can wind up on your PS3’s HDD it’s no surprise they are outing another larger capacity system. Personally I’m just surprised that they aren’t pushing out models with either easily exchangeable HDD’s or storage capacities in the triple digits.

I wonder what they’ll be charging for this particular system and if the Bluetooth additions/movement means new Bluetooth functionality, better range, or any other positive changes or if they just moved it for the hell of it. For now we’ll just have to wonder, but it doesn’t sound like much of an update or upgrade.

The harddrives on all PS3s are easily exchangeable. Just slip off the side panel, take out a singel screw to remove the HDD and replace with any standard mobile SATA HDD.
Ya improved blutooth would be nice but will it come with the PS2 BC and the Shiny trim like the 60gb version and motorstorm version. I also want the memery card reader and SD chip and memery stick duo reader. All i want is the reagular PS3 with all the fetures. Now that i have the money to get it. Plz tell me if its the same as the orginal 80gb but just improved and will it come with MGS4. THNx
You do know the 80GB systems from the start had the upgraded reverse F antenna?
Oh wait you obviously didn’t.
You should try some research before just posting something that was brought up over a year ago.
