PlayStation 3: Slightly slimmer slim to release in Japan (PlayStation 3)

Sony has briefed Japanese retailers on an improved PlayStation 3 to be released later this month. While the slimmed-down CECH-3000B is mostly the same on the outside, the innards have been trimmed for a lighter weight and lower power consumption. Retailers haven't been advised on any pricing changes for this new machine, which debuts in a 230GB model.

Set to go on sale later this month in Japan, the improved PlayStation 3 cuts power consumption by 30W, bringing total consumption down to 200W. It also sheds .4kg (that's .88 pounds for the metric-allergic), bringing the total weight down to 2.6kg. Externally, the power/eject buttons have been modified slightly and LED lamps have removed. Maybe that's where those 30W went, says the guy who's clearly not an electrical engineer.

Rumor has it that firmware updates are in the offing to improve the machine's copy-protection, but this hasn't been confirmed by Sony, who hasn?t passed on any word yet on when the new model might be available outside of Japan.
