Last year we first uncovered Sony using the „Sand Dollar Enterprise, Inc” pseudonym to list PS3 Slims with the FCC, and today two new PlayStation 3 Slim models have been uncovered- the CECH-2101A and CECH-2101B.
In this FCC document [PDF] it states the difference between the CECH-2101A and CECH-2102B model is HDD type only.
For those unaware, the „X” in the models CECH-210XA and CECH-210XB represents the region coding, so replacing it with a „0” would signify Japan, a „1” for North America, „2” for Australia / New Zealand, „3” for U.K. / Ireland, „4” for Europe / Middle East / Africa and so on.
To quote: „We’re not sure why Sony is passing two new PS3 Slims through the FCC. The wireless specs on the new PS3 Slims include 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth – nothing new there.
We’re guessing that maybe Sony found a new manufacturer for some of its wireless components, and was forced to pass the PS3 Slim through the FCC again.”
