Well the next gen rumors in regards to the Playstation keeps coming out. However, unlike many, this one may have legs. Apparently not only is the Playstation 3 coming out in September but it will not have a harddrive.
The scoop from Next Gen and reported on joystick.com indicates that the PS3 US launch is planned for September 21st. In addition, Sony will launch a service nearly identical to Xbox Live called the Playstation Hub. This indicates that Microsoft is a bigger threat then Sony wants to admit as you don't tend to copy the ideas that are bad. Like XBox live, the use of the service will not be free but hopefully for competitive sake it will not be all that expensive. Out of my ass guess, $15.95 per month.
As for the second rumor, well it seems more like fact as it comes directly from the specs posted on Playstation.com. As the pic above shows, no harddrive but I guess you will be able to buy one to add in the future since it accepts laptop harddrives (which while small are also more expensive then desktop counterparts).
The price point has still not been announced but now that is it without a harddrive, I am going with a $299.99 price tag.
