simmorya Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 My brother bought a 40GB PS3 a few months back and I just went and grabbed one for myself last night. His model number is CECHG02 and my model number is CECHH02. On the back of the console, all the ports are in different positions on my model. Can anyone explain what the difference is with my newer CECHH02 model compared to the older one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinary Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The difference is all the ports are in a different location on the back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsolete_power Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Nothing other than the location of ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmorya Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I just found out it contains a upgraded motherboard, improved heatsinks and disperses heat more efficiently. Also contains better wifi and bluetooth modules. Thanks anyway guys. I should have google'd first. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshBluebird Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 seems just a normal revision really. Like the PS2 (there were a crap load of different PS2 models way before the slim one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyT Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 One is original, manufactured by Asustek of Taiwan, the other is a cheap replica made in China :rolleyes: (j/k) Edit: Can you see the model number on the box, or is it on the PS3 unit only?

The model number is now on the box (both sides) and the console. My brother's PS3 box does not have the model number on it. My PS3 box says this: Sony Computer Entertainment - CECHH02 - SIXAXIS His PS3 box says: Sony Computer Entertainment - SIXAXIS Edited May 9, 2008 by simmorya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkenshin Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Off base, but isn't the new PS3 model slated for release soon? I'm hoping they will price drop the 40GB model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmorya Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I had to wait for this console to be delivered straight from Sony. I wanted the newest model available. The CECHHxx models were only released in Japan a few weeks back but are now available worldwide. I think they are also available in the GTA/GT5 Prologue bundles as well.

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted May 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2008 i knew the newer models were getting a new heatsink, but i didnt know about the upgraded mobo and wifi/bluetooth. that's pretty neat (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauguu Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I believe that your PS3 have a self-cleaning feature, not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted May 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2008 yeah, the 40GB models have that self-cleaning feature which i'm sure does nothing. :p I have yet to test it on mine. To do it: Turn off the Power Switch on the back. While holding the Power button on the front, turn the switch back on. (crap, was it the eject button or the power button?)
