Fresh from a Land of a Rising Sun comes headlines which Sony has updated a strange PS3 Slim (CECH-3001B) with a lighter, reduction power-hungry model. The latest Japanese PS3 CECH-3000B weighs in during 5.7 pounds — as against to a 6.6 bruise elder hermit — as well as even lowers a wattage to 200W from a prior 230W. Based upon report handed to us by SCE in February, we’re surmising which you’ll need HDMI / HDCP in sequence to get 1080p video playback from Blu-ray Discs; otherwise, it’ll be singular to 480i over robbery concerns. Other non-AACS calm — games enclosed — should be free from a restrictions. The section will sell during a same ¥34,980 cost indicate (or $435 for a Yanks) as a strange Slim, as well as whilst a comparatively solid 320GB season seems to be upon daub for now, a 160GB Tales of Xillia gold will purportedly strike this September. No proclamation has been done for a North American counterpart, though with a complement already in a FCC’s clutches, we can gamble it’ll be creation an intercontinental mass departure in reduced order.
