Possible new PS3 silm?

A series of photos attributed to a filing with the Brazilian equivalent of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission appears to give the first look at the case of a redesigned "superslim" PlayStation 3, which last week was rumored to be in manufacturing by Sony.
The Brazilian site Tecnoblog reports that the unit's model number in the Brazilian market is CECH-4011, and will be sold in configurations with 16, 250 and 500GB hard drives. The original rumor pegged the new PS3 model numbers at CECH-4000A and 4000B for the North American markets.

I never really understood people buying a console they already own. Only time it seems to make sense is if your old one was broken or dieing or if the new one added something significantly new (DS to DSi). Might be good for people who don't own a PS3, but I get the feeling a PS4 will be creeping up on us in the next few years.

Then again, if Sony is planning on being as generous with backwards compatibility as they are this generation, owning a PS3 might not be a bad idea. That or you wait for the PS4 ports of PS3 games like they did with this gen.
