Sony has released an updated version of the PlayStation 3 console, with a few changes. The weight of the console has been reduced from 3 KG to 2.6 KG, and power consumption has been lowered as well, from 230W to 200W. A few exterior changes have been made as well, with the reorder of buttons and the removal of some LED lights.

The hard drive remains the same: 320 GB for the base version, and the prices will remain the same as well, with a 160GB version for $299 and 320GB for $399. The SKU number for the new model is CECH-3000B. The accessories still include a Dual Shock 3 controller, power cable, AV cable and USB cable — but, still, no HDMI cable.
