It looks like it's time to the PS3 SKU dance again. An alleged Wal-Mart spreadsheet sent to Joystiq states the 40GB PS3 "will be replaced with [a] new model in early August." What this new model will entail is unclear: it could be a new 40GB bundle, or it could be something different altogether. Perhaps we'll find out more at E3?

This isn't the first time hints of a new system were revealed through retail channels. The 40GB model is currently the cheapest model of the PS3, retailing for $399. It is the only model of the PS3 that does not feature any backwards compatibility support for PS2 titles.

I've heard rumors of 120 and 160 gig PS3's, so maybe they're just increasing memory size or something.

New harddrive upgrades aren't exactly exciting, but it's only positive for those who haven't bought a PS3 yet to get a bigger harddrive.

If this was announced at E3 I'd be over the moon, unless they're going to downgrade it some more. What would be great is backwards compatibility being reinstated, but as another article says it could just be the same PS3 model with the Dual Shock 3 in instead of the current sixaxis.

Still, if this is a new model and if it comes to the UK then I don't mind waiting a little longer for a better model.

Roll on E3
