Rumor: Sony has 'big bang' announcement Oct. 12

GamePro France is reporting that Sony has plans for a "big bang" announcement set for Oct. 12. While rumors and speculation have been filling message boards across the internet, we feel safe to say this announcement will probably focus on the mysterious 40GB PlayStation 3.

Let's take a look at the recent events surrounding Sony's new model:

• The CECHG01 model is listed at Blu-raySavings.com

• Sony filed for a new PS3 model with the FCC

• Sony declines to comment on the rumors

• Sky says a cheaper 40GB PS3 with less features will soon be announced

We'll, can't be happy enough for Oct. 12 to come so we can finally get some real answers, but who knows, Sony could announce a new JetMoto game, right?
