PS3 revamps hit the FCC, may mean big changes on the horizon?

Buried under the weight of the ongoing 'breach' debacle, yesterday's news about the new PS3 revamps hitting the FCC has completely fallen flat and as well seemingly on deaf ears too. Nevertheless, some might say it's rightful so, the move at least seem to be a solid step in something that at least has the appearance of being in the right direction. More importantly though these units surfaced coincidentally when the new SDK units were being released to developers, so one could most certainly assume the new models at the very least will be getting something along the lines of the updated and enhanced security measures the developers are sure to benefit from.

Of course other then the immediate speculation on what these said "changes" might actually be, any actual concrete details remain to be quite slim. (Well aside from the much rumored 300G HDD, but hey that's really beside the point.) However though, it’s being highly speculated as well that these new models may have actual been created in response to the original bane of Sony's existence, the root key hack which occurred late last year and has persisted ever since. Regardless of inception though, rather significant questions remain, specifically whether all the existing or earlier versions of the console would be eligible for any sort of exchange or upgrade program? Or, will the most certain firmware update when services seemly return do the trick? In conclusion though I definitely wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we hear about Sony pulling a Microsoft come E3 time, I guess will just have to find out for certain come June.
