New PS3 Model Might Have Been On Candid Camera

July 13, 2012

A new PS3 hardware model has been photographed in the wild, as seen above. The picture comes from Anatel, a Brazilian telecommunications agency and shows a PS3 ribbed for your pleasure. There also seems to be some kind of sliding panel on top, suggesting a top-loading drive.

These images, which were caught by Technoblog and posted to their site, even go so far as to provide a model number and other technical label information. The latest PS3 model, the slim, is in the CECH-30xx series, just for reference.

Nothing is official yet, but we'll keep you informed.

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism.

Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
