IN PICTURES: The new-look Europe-only 12GB PS3

Here are the first official shots of the nameless new very-slim-indeed PS3.

As well as the shots, Sony has confirmed some other details about its new console.

The €229.99 12GB model, the first and only PS3 with flash memory, is only being released in Europe, with Asia and American instead getting a 250GB model.

Sony is also releasing a separate dedicated 250GB hard drive that can be installed in the machine, although once installed the console’s internal 12GB storage will no longer be accessible.

As previously reported, the 299.99 500GB SKU will be released in the UK on September 28th. A GAME-exclusive FIFA 13 bundle will hit the shelves on the same day. The 12GB model will be released on October 12th.
