Despite failing to keep their PlayStation Network secure, Sony may be be close to completely securing their PlayStation 3 console. Today, FCC filings have surfaced of a new PlayStation 3 model, which is utilizing the model numbers CECH-3001A/B. Earlier this year, we reported that Sony was planning the release of a new PS3 console which was immune to jailbreaking and custom firmware. Based on these recent FCC filings, speculation would say these recent models are likely this new generation of "hack proof" PS3 consoles. Very little is currently revealed by the FCC filings, but we'll bring you more information as it becomes available.

Today, a mysterious FCC filing by Sony revealed a new version of the Sony PlayStation 3 with the model numbers CECH-3001A/B. This appears to be a new generation of the PlayStation 3, given that the original PS3 and PS3 Slim were part of the CECH 2xxx series.

FCC filings reveal little about the device, other than the label location picture, above. Test reports do confirm the presence of Bluetooth and WiFi, as well as a hard disk drive.

The CECH-3001 PS3 model number has appeared online as early as December 2010. However, Sony has not provided any information about the new device, nor do we know how it will differ from older PS3 models.

This one is still developing. We’ll provide updates as we learn more.

Well, it has to be compatible with the "older" games - so it must contain old code/keys....

the playstation hacking scene is dying. not only is the firmware 3.60 unhackable (so far), but on top of that Sony is releasing a new PS3 model which will probably change all the keys hardcoded into the system.

We, the people on 3.55cfw are waiting for new homebrew, apps and such. We don't need 3.60cfw, people that updated to 3.60 are dumb. As long as devs release new stuff for 3.55cfw, the scene will not die. With the awesome power of the PS3, we could really get some great homebrew, but the scene is all about bragging rights, noobs asking for 3.60cfw and credit card theft.

I wonder if the same guy, smoking the same salvia that said the PS3 was "hack-proof" the first time?

What are they going to do, remove the USB ports to make it "hack-proof"? lol

Even that the new ps3 reject cfw i belive that aways have a way to run homebrew programs. did you remember the psp? The first release accept de cfw, but the news versions going brick after install a cfw? Long the have been passed and popup the chicken-hen. Then the sony block the method releasing the psp-go. There's no *** way to run homebrew in them. But suddenly anybody release a program to enable it.

It's aways the same history. The sony release a new model, then somebody release a new method to run HB. My advice is: buy another ps3 and hold in your bedroom. Sure you will win some cash.

A hug for everybody from Brazil.

There is no such thing as hack proof or unhackable, Electronic security is just a deterrent but it will not stop someone determined enough, If you can see it hear it or smell it, touch it or whatever it can be hacked or modified or anything you wish to do with it almost, It is just the fundamental problem with how all computers work since the first ones was invented, Funny blu ray was also supposed to be unhackable and they found a way around that real quick lol, now you see BDrips all over the place.

I'm waiting for some home brew browsers as the one sony has implemented has slopping coding all over it just like there psn network, I mean come on it don't work on even a fraction of the web, Sites like justin.tv will crash the damn ps3 because the ps3 has a flash plugin that is outdated and full of security holes at that, I would settle for any browser being ported as long as it used newer plugins and i can change the useragent to whatever i want so sites work, Like visiting hulu.com in a web browser so i can actually watch the free stuff without plus psn and hulu plus, Not being able to go to the acually site for free like a pc is sony trying to snag money from something that is already free via the pc, So far im stuck with watching hulu in a pc browser,

Even if they did release a 3.60 cfw it would be irrelevant when psn comes back online as it will most likely have a new firmware because they completely rebuilding psn and it has to be compatible with the new network or have you not read the news lately,

Doesn't matter. As long as they can promise devs moving forward that their new projects are safe. As well as PSN.
