Over the past week or so, we've been hearing reports from retailers across the US that the current 40GB PS3/Spider-Man 3 deal was about to wind up. They'd stopped receiving them, and had instead been told to expect new 40GB units without a movie. Seemed odd. Might be a very good reason, though: we've since heard from Circuit City employees that they've begun receiving shipments of these "new" PlayStation 3s. On the shipping box? The model number CECHH01. Which the more observant amongst you will recognise as the model # for the White PlayStation 3. Seems these will be held in stock until the current Spider-Man 3 bundles are gone, and will then be offered for the standard price of $399. I guess black 40GB units, sans Spider-Man 3, will go on sale then as well.

$399 is too much?

They still plan to have a black model though, right? If not, I need to buy another one before they're gone.

This has probably been posted - but I just noticed the Best Buy website is not listing the Spiderman bundle. Just a 40gb PS3.

I am waiting to see if something shows up around 4/15 when the DS3 is released to pick up a second one.

According to a member here, "user friendly", there has been some hardware changes with the white PS3 in Japan. Chances are we're getting the same white unit here.

This is probably the most surprising out of all the redesigns. Both 40GB models are completely different. The white model (JPN) now has 2x128MB for XDR ram, instead of 4x64MB. Also, the Cell is now 65nm, the RSX is still 90nm though.

The HDD is installed differently in the White model as well and the back of the unit is different than the Black SKU.




They are perfecting the mobo as much as they can, cutting costs very effectively imo. The cooling method is much different than it used to be on the 60GB model. (pics in the link below)
