Sony has released some new images of the much awaited Playstation 3 due to launch on November 17th of this year. The images outline the external differences between the two models that will be released.

It has been known for some time that the $599, 60GB version of the PS3 will get a suite of added technical features over its $499, 20GB sister. In addition to the obvious 40GB of storage space the 60GB gets a multi-card reader, built-in Wi-Fi and an HDMI output. However, the external appearance of the 20GB version lacks more than an HDMI jack and flash media slots. The 60GB version gets some extra “bling” to set it off. That’s right, silver (vs. black) surrounding the blue-ray drive, trimmed below the USB ports and covering the “Playstation 3” lettering atop the unit. There will be no need to search for external connectors to tell who spent the extra $100 at the register.
