Well, it may not be the next-gen PS4 console we are all hoping for, but during the Tokyo Game Show Sony unveiled a brand new PlayStation 3 model that is approximately 20% smaller and 25% lighter than the current PS3. 

The new, sleeker-looking PS3 comes in two different models: a 250GB and 500GB HDD. It will come in "charcoal black", but Japan will get a special "classic white" option. 

Different regions will get different options for the new PS3. Here are a few of them:

North America

• 250GB - $269 (Uncharted 3/Dust 514 Bundle) - September 25th
  • This includes the new PS3, a copy of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception: GotY Edition, and a voucher for more than $30 worth of digital content for Dust 514, Sony's upcoming MMOFPS
