Nothing is official yet but some sites claim Sony will unveil a new 40GB PS3 just in time for the holiday season:

A new model, equipped with a 40GB hard drive, will go on sale in Europe at 399 euros, 200 euros less than the current sales price of Sony's more powerful, 60GB device, which is already in stores, according to the newspaper Les Echos.

The more powerful version will see its sales price lowered by 100 euros to 499 euros, the paper said.

A Sony spokesman would not confirm the figures cited by Les Echos but said an announcement was "imminent."
