FCC documents point to 250GB PS3 Slim from Sony

Now that the PS3 Slim has been officially revealed, what’s next for Sony? How about a PS3 Slim with a bigger hard drive? That’s what an FCC document is hinting at.

Now that the PS3 Slim has been officially revealed, what’s next for Sony? How about a PS3 Slim with a bigger hard drive? That’s what an FCC document unearthed by PS3News is hinting at.

The document, which you can view in PDF form by clicking here, lists a 250GB version of the PS3 Slim with the model number CECH-2001B along with a pair of Slim debug models. The one that Sony announced at GamesCom sports a 120GB hard drive.

So, another new PS3 model so soon after the Slim? It’s possible, although since this one has a bigger hard drive be ready to pay more for it if it ever gets announced. The FCC tested the 2001B back in march, so we may hear something about it at TGS. If the price ends up too high, well, you can always just buy a bigger hard drive and swap it with the one in the Slim.

Note that if you look through the FCC documents you’ll notice that it was filed not by Sony, but by a company called Sand Dollar Enterprise, Inc. A little sleuthing reveals that Sand Dollar is actually located in SCEA‘s Foster City, CA, address. PS3News also points out that Sand Dollar is represented by SCEA’s general counsel, Riley Russell.
