Sony announced a second redesign to the PlayStation 3 during its press conference at the Tokyo Game Show Tuesday. The new model will be available in two colors. A “Charcoal Black” version will be available October 4 in Japan, in both 250 gigabyte and 500 gigabyte models. A 250 gigabyte “Classic White” version will be available November 22 in Japan.

The 250 gigabyte model will launch in North America September 25 for $269.99 in a bundle with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception: Game of the Year Edition, and a $30 voucher for Dust 514. The 500 gigabyte model will be available on October 30th for $299. Sony teased a Assassin’s Creed 3 bundle with the 500 gigabyte version, but a release date and price were not included. According to Joystiq, the white model has not been announced for North America. The new system is 50 percent smaller than the original PlayStation 3, and 25 percent smaller and lighter than the current slim model. [SOURCE]

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, one of our favourite PS3 games, is getting a re-release with loads of extra content thrown in, at least in the US.

The new version will be called “Game Of The Year Edition” and will include stacks of DLC from the issues since release, including 12 multiplayer maps, 40 new skins, Fort Co-op adventure and Shade survival mode.

It’ll be bundled with the new PS3 if you go for the 250GB version, otherwise it’ll also be available at retail for – again these are US prices until SCEE wake up – $40.

Uncharted 3 recently updated with lots of competitive content. [SOURCE]
