Sixaxis - Image 1In a recent request sent to the FCC, the American Telecommunications Certification Body (probably through Sony's initiative) was spotted asking the communications body to revise the titles of the test reports that it submitted for a product not yet released.

This is particularly true, for instance, with regard to the revision of WLAN and BT (Bluetooth) reports for the device under FCC ID: AK8CBEH1000 (of model number CECHG01), which was revealed previously.

Now many seem to believe that this "model number" actually represents a new controller and that it was changed to disguise the unit that was tested.

Unfortunately, the image of the model specifications sticker plainly points toward a new PlayStation 3 unit - probably a new SKU that analysts have been whispering about.

In contrast, the new Dual Shock 3 controller was revealed recently by SCE President Kazuo Hirai at the Tokyo Game show, but the one spotted in the FCC website did not seem to be the same thing showed in Japan. We'll keep you updated for more. For the meantime, you may read the letter in portable document format, provided through the Read link below.

i hate the dude who created (and uploaded it on the official star wars lucas arts advertisement on yahoo) that picture above.
he is the dumbest person. i hope you paid the consequences of your malicious action.
dual shock 2 with switched position of the analog and directional button. we are shocked by your ignorance.

and if sony does that design to any playstation controller, i will abandon sony and concentrate on Hardcore PC gaming.

While that looks like the xbox controller doesn't mean it will turn out that way. No all pictures with article news are absolute fact.

Well I guess we now know for sure that the model CECHG01 is for sure a new PS3 sku since it is being listed in the new 5 free Blu-Ray movie promo when you buy a new Blu-Ray player. The model CECHG01 is one of the 3 playstion 3 models that qualify for the 5 free movies! Here is the link to the proof: http://bluraysavings.com/
