Sony has asked the FCC in the USA to give the governmental thumbs up to a new iteration of the PS3. Everybody seems to be getting all "It's a SuperSlim PS3! It's an Xbox 720/Surface spoiler.

A poster on
Neogaf noticed that, "Label Position is different from 3000/slim models, new case?" Which as lead to speculation of a SuperSlim PS3 to hit sometime before Xmas.
Either that, of course, or a standard Slim PS3 with lower cost components. We'll see.
