Sources have previously pointed to an August or September release.All of this remains nothing more than speculation at this point. Whilst Sony has a history of altering its console designs as life cycles progress, to do so now before the generation one machine has seen any sort of discount would certainly be a surprise. 18/08/09 – MCV Reported - GAMESCOM’09: New model to arrive in September.

The hardware will launch worldwide during the first week of September, and is 32 per cent smaller and 36 per cent lighter. Furthermore, the machine is said to consume 34 per cent less power. The machine was announced by Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai, and includes a 120 GB hard drive.
