It looks like the PS3 super slim may be released this month if a new advertisement is to be believed. This ad makes it certain that the console will be revealed at TGS 2012 on September 19.

The pic you see above was posted by Polygamia.pl, which is a polish site and in the advertisement it is clearly written that a new PS3 will be released on September 28. Things like these aren’t odd though, with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Slim unveiled the same way via an advertisement.

The 16GB PS3 is expected to cost $199, which indicates that there will be a worldwide price drop accompanying the reveal. Sony didn’t show the PS3 at Gamescom even though many people expected it to be there.

The new PS3 contains a sliding top panel, but that’s just speculation at this point based on the leaked FCC filings. You can check that post here.

It’s still a rumor at this stage so we advise you to take this news with a pinch of salt. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

If you’re wondering why the PS3 super slim model was missing at Gamescom, then it’s because Sony just wanted to talk about software. In case you’re new to all this, PS3 super slim is a slimmer version of PS3 CECH 3000, which also supposedly features a 16GB flash drive instead of the standard HDD.

It was leaked few months ago along with a bunch of pics and when you take into account the FCC filing for the same, it’s clear that Sony isn’t ready to talk about it rather than it simply does not exist.

When asked about why there was no mention of the said model at Gamescom by CVG, Playstation Europe CEO Jim Ryan said, “What PS3?” Appearing oblivious to the news, while adding, “Well, we had so much to talk about on the software side, and that’s all we wanted to talk about.”

According to some new documents uncovered recently, Sony is currently producing a slimmer PS3, and we have images of that as well. The new model representing the CECH 4000 series could be revealed at GamesCom.

The documents were filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and this usually means once it is cleared the model will go in production.

This has happened before as well, and it will be interesting to see whether this will be accompanied by a price drop, because such a change in the chassis usually denotes internal restructuring to increase efficiency and reduced size of components.

You can check out all the three images below; the second and third images are the PS3 slim and PS3 fat respectively. The new model looks much smaller and thinner compared to the current PS3.
