E3 2010: 500GB PS3 incoming

With a PS3 price drop very unlikely to feature as part of Sony’s E3 press conference tomorrow, it looks as if Sony might instead be preparing a slight revision to its current home console.

CVG reckons that the two new model numbers registered by Sony last week refer to new SKUs of the console – one 250GB and the other 500GB. Both consoles will also come bundled with the Move motion controller, too.

In addition, both will include a higher spec 802.11n wi-fi adapter that should significantly improve internet speeds for any users with a compatible router.

The move mirrors what Microsoft is expected to announce tonight – a brand new look for the Xbox 360 that includes built-in wi-fi for the first time as well as a high-capacity 260GB hard drive.
