Well they did it to the PlayStation 2, they did it to the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and now rumours are circulating about yet another tweak to the PlayStation 3 hardware design.

It is tenuous to say at best, but gadgets magazine T3 is running with a story derived from whispers and gossip from last months CES show in Las Vegas.

Seems a well-informed insider has the scoop on a new PS3 model.

With a no comment from Sony on the speculation, you can immediately file this under rumour.  T3 speculate that the new slimmer PS3 will also sport the [also rumoured] 160GB or 120GB HDD capacity.

With PlayTV on the horizon and the probable discontinuation of the 80GB PS3, Sony needs to get a large capacity model onto the market for those technophiles wanting to make full use of the console as it was originally envisioned, as a living room media hub.

All we can do for now is wait, and listen for more.  Let's hope that any new announcement is not simply a colour selection option.
