New PlayStation 3 console gains FCC approval

A new PlayStation 3 console was approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission last week, according to the agency's online filings database.

No information on the new model, number CECHL01, is available at present from the filing because Sony was granted short-term confidentiality on the papers, but it is likely the 80G-byte version announced earlier this month during E3 in Los Angeles. The console is due on sale in the next couple of months and will replace the current 40G-byte model.

Sony's filing to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission was made because the FCC is the radio regulator in the U.S. and as such all new products that use radio must be submitted to the organization for approval before they can be sold.

The PlayStation 3 includes both 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Why? if your gonna put out a new one like this?, at least start making a high end model with FULL BC a 500GB HD and a DVR. [p] Some of us, a lot of us would buy that in a second.

What I want to know is if they are going to drop the price on the 40 GB model if they have stock left when the 80 GB is set to arrive in September. If so I will definitely be buying one because darn it I need a Blu-Ray player ... I mean "The Dark Knight" will be out by December so I better get on it.
