Did the news of an FCC filing for the white PS3 unit shed hope onto your fragile little hearts? Well, too bad: Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) said that the FCC submission doesn't mean squat when it comes to the possibility of North American gamers getting their hands on a white PS3 unit. Check out why in the full article.

Sony is apparently making plans to deploy a white version of their 40GB PS3 to the territories of North America in the near future. This much we know based on an update they sent to the Federal Communications Commission.

Details regarding this matter are available in the full article.

DailyTech is reporting that Sony's PlayStation 3 rumble controller, otherwise known as the DualShock 3, has already reached the FCC, meaning that it's now one step closer to hitting game shops everywhere.

As usual, there's some new information on the DualShock 3's specifications, so you'd best get to checking the full article for more information.

Despite Sony's statements otherwise, more and more evidence towards the creation of the new PlayStation 3 SKU have popped up recently, like the FCC documentation of a Sony product with the model number CECHG01.

There's another compelling evidence of a new Sony SKU, and this time it's just about as conclusive as the FCC documents: an online ad listing Blu-ray Player models, as well as PlayStation 3 models eligible for a Blu-ray movie promotion.

The online ad lists the model number CECHG01 as one of the qualifying PlayStation 3 models for the free five Blu-ray movie offer. If you can recall one of our earlier reports, there were also talks that the FCC documents referred to a new controller that Sony is currently testing - they referred to it as CECHG01. However, with the model number being listed as a PlayStation 3 model here in this ad, you could consider the controller rumor debunked.

Rumors and speculations just keep getting hotter and hotter. Do check this space often for more updates!

In 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.
