The new PS3 has all the same specs as the “full-figured” version and adds a 120GB hard drive. There’s also apparently been an FCC filing for a 250GB version, which gives Sony a sorely needed leg-up on Microsoft. With the impending price reduction, it will be interesting to see if Sony can regain some of its market share.

Sadly, with all the same internals, Sony didn’t add backwards compatibility to the mix. I know it’s more complicated than just slapping it on the hard drive, but that announcement would certainly have blown some panties off. This one, though not undergarment-shredding, is still pretty sweet.
