Japan has received two updated PlayStation 3 Slim units, but don’t add any additional hard drive space or new features. The CECH-3000B model retains the 320GB HDD found in current ‘B’ models, while the CECH-3000A (160GB) model appears the same too. The two main differences are the power consumption rating which drops 30W to 200W and a drop in weight from 3kg to 2.6kg.
According to a industry source, those new CECH-3000A/B PS3 models that have been released in Japan feature more than just a reduction in weight and power consumption. They’ll also be shipping with new copy protection features built in to the hardware.
