Redesigned PlayStation 3 Emerges In Pictures, May Launch Later This Year!

The new PlayStation 3 console seems to have a design change, particularly a keel-shaped surface with moderately noticeable curves, and also a redesigned front. There's a significant oddness in the design or perhaps it seems so - at least from the pictures we've included after the break. This apparently elucidates the doubts on whether a redesigned PS3 is in the works since the next generation console believed to be known as PlayStation 4 will only debut sometime in 2013, so a redesigned box with perhaps notable improvements is likely to be released in August this year. The pictures were filed for the Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications and suggest the existence of three PS3 models including CECH-4011A, 4011B and 4011C which could probably refer to the 160GB, 250GB and 500GB models of the new PS3 console. Besides this, there are no significant revelations or even a word about the new PlayStation 3 launch, but as far as we can guess, there should be none - at least in terms of processing power and other core components, since an overhauled console is set to be debut later - even if Sony announces a slimmer PlayStation 3 Slim this year - seemingly they'll save the best for the next. Furthermore, the leaked letter allegedly composed by Sony itself clearly mentions that the products have the same electrical components except the storage. We will keep you posted as more details surface. Stay tuned!
