Apparently, the CECH-4000 PS3 model will be hitting stores shortly after the Tokyo Game Show has come to a close later this month. A post over on NeoGAF points to September 28th as the likely release date for the redesigned console, but seeing as there is no confirmed proof, we’ve filed this has a rumor for now.
The redesigned console is expected to launch alongside a few big releases including FIFA 13 and the Gran Turismo Academy Edition. Previously, the console was expected to be announced at Gamescom, so TGS seems perfectly likely too.
