Details are already emerging that suggest Sony may be releasing an equivalent to the 360 Elite. Only days after Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America, blasted the recently announced high-spec Xbox 360, the possibility of a new and improved PS3 is on the horizon.
A publicly released document reveals that Sony has applied to the US Federal Communications Commission to request ‘a class II permissive change’ to the PS3.
The most notable of the changes detailed in the document from Sony Corporation’s global head offices suggests that along with the 60Gb model, an ‘additional model’, with a 80Gb hard drive may be released. It is not clear if this implies that there will eventually be a completely new version of the system, or alludes to a simple storage upgrade.
Either way, it is an interesting development just as Dille’s statements appeared regarding the fact that their new console already gives players an “elite experience“.
The other, more pedestrian changes on the FCC document relate to an update of the system’s Bluetooth antenna.
