The CECH-4000: It Does Exist


Submitted by Demonchild; July 14, 2012


Remember when the rumor went out of Sony working on a new PS3 model? That turned out to be true as a leaked document and several pictures do all the confirming. Check it all out.

Tecnoblog has obtained the leaked goodies which outline what Sony is planning to do with the PS3 CECH-4000 series. The pictures reveal that it is indeed a slimmer version of the PS3 Slim. It's been trimmed down to something in line with the PS2 Slim. Unlike past models and SKUs however, all of the hardware will be the same with the exception of the hard drive.

In the leaked letter, the model number / SKU will carry a letter designation at the end of it, which indicates the size of the hard drive. "A" indicates 16GB, (?) "B" for 250GB and "C" for 500GB. These are the designations that were decided upon a month ago. There could be more or less now.

The 4000 series PS3 still features an Ethernet port, HDMI and RGB ports for video and optical audio. It's unsure what has done in terms of the optical drive. Check out the pictures of the models for yourself. Would you be picking up one of these when released?

Does the top slide open? Because it sure looks like it does. Maybe this is a test run for some ideas they have for the PS4 as far as the console design.

Pretty sure that 16GB is a typo. Maybe its 160GB. IDK. I wonder if this will be cheaper?

A 16GB model confuses me as it doesn't make sense to have such a small hard drive when PSN games are so large.

Yea, just wake me when they can make one with (close to) the slim's power savings and featuring the same level of guts as a CECHA model again.

16GB model would suggest some amount of flash memory on it... maybe a cheapo SSD that fits their budget to put in. Not like the PS3 had a sata interface fast enough to really push the speeds an SSD could really do.

Even so, this one looks more like yet another cheap, chinese ripoff of what they started with... it's like they are actively trying to make it look uglier.

It has to be a typo, should 160 GB, since HDDs are dirt cheap nowadays.
