Everything We Actually Know About New PS3 SKU

[wraggster]

Sony's recent FCC filing over the alleged 40GB PS3 has gotten us all focusing on the wrong issues. Why do we constantly look at the one feature of the PS3 that consumers can most easily change (the swappable hard drive) to define an SKU?

* It draws less current; Now only rated 3A down from the previous 3.2A
* Bluetooth is the same version as before, however the Antenna gain is increased on Antenna1 from 0.21dBi (max) in the original 60Gb, up to 3.83dBi (max) in the new SKU. Antenna2 also sees an increase, from 4.13dBi (max) up to 4,92 dBi (max).
* WLAN is still 802.11b/g, however there is a difference in Antenna gain too. ANT0 is now 0.69dBi from 0.10dBi previously, and ANT1 is now -0.26dBi from 0.91dBi.
* The controller used in the test had the model number of the original launch Sixaxis, not the Dual Shock 3.

I wonder where I've been this whole time, I forgot that the PS3 allows for bigger hard drives.
