True. That's the answer to the question of the validity a PS3 Slim model from Sony. But, is something else on the way for the console? Maybe a 250GB HDD SKU.

[FL]http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/170393-ps3-slim_350.1250654845.jpg[/FL]Today we uncovered a second PS3 Slim model CECH-2000B (not to be confused with the already known CECH-2000A 120GB model) on the FCC site that Sony tried to hide under a company called Sand Dollar Enterprise, Inc. of 1518 Ascension Drive in San Mateo CA.
Now, Sand Dollar Enterprise, Inc is represented by SCEA's General Council, Riley Russell.
This house is actually a private residence, but whomever lives here filed the documents with the FCC, most likely on the behalf of Sony, as they would be much harder to find with a different FCC ID (XCE) than that of Sony (AK8).
This means that some time in the future (for probably a premium, maybe $349 or so), a new PS3 Slim may come out featuring a 250GB HDD. There is not much of a difference, but expect it to be bundled with a game or so, right in time for Christmas!
Also, for the DEVs listening - two new PS3 TEST's were hidden in these documents, thats right, Slim Line DEBUG stations!
The models DECH-2000A, features a 150GB HDD, and should be adorned with the TEST markings, while the DECH-2000AS, will be used for trade shows, when, while being a DEBUG, will not feature any TEST markings.
More when we get it - but you heard it here, first!
