PlayStation 4 PS4 1TB Hard Drive

Well, here's one of your E3 announcements outed early. The always eagle-eyed editors over at DualShockers have uncovered certification documents for two updated PlayStation 4 models – and one of these includes a 1TB hard-drive. With storage space at a premium on Sony's new-gen system, a roomier unit always seemed likely at some point down the line.

The publication actually uncovered two documents, but the first pertains to the existing 500GB SKU with some minor changes to its internal components. This is likely just a case of the manufacturer swapping out parts in order to bring down costs, which is something that it said it would do during its recent Investors Day financial briefing.

The second listing is much more interesting, though, with that beefier hard-drive explicitly mentioned. Of course, the big question here is: what does it do about pricing? It would appear that it intends to have two active SKUs moving forwards, so will the 1TB model occupy the system's existing $399 price bracket, while the 500GB plumps up for a cheaper MSRP?

We'll almost certainly find out at E3.
