Major hardware revision, this console saw the disappearance of the card readers, where the flap became a static part of the shell. The GS has been removed from the motherboard, removing the final piece of PS2 hardware and as a result no longer backwards compatible with PS2 games. SACD support removed. The amount of USB ports has been halved from 4 to 2, and it now features a shrunken 65nm CELL/BE. Later versions of this console (manufactured after October 2007) featured the KES-410A laser which used two beams (one for CD/DVD and one for Blu-ray) instead of the KES-400A which used one beam.

There is a significantly lower wattage power supply and the cooling system has been redesigned, in particular the front vents to the right of the USB ports have been removed. Notably, the lower wattage power supply being compatible with most PS2 backwards compatible models (CECHAxx, CECHBxx and CECHExx) equipped with ZSSR539IA or otherwise faulty PSU, has seen the CECHGxx models bought solely to salvage its power supply (ideally for an APS-231), especially CECHGxx that have YLOD as they are usually sold very cheap.

This was the last model to use NAND onboard storage.
