Aside from doubling the storage of the current console, it also arrives with a new matte finish instead of the glossy top and some performance tweaks under the hood.
It will be available in select European territories from 15th July, with pricing dependent upon the retailer.

QED Performance 40 interconnect
QED has unveiled its latest interconnect cable. The Performance 40 is the latest, and final, addition to QED’s ‘phono to phono’ range, which underwent a complete upgrade and redesign to celebrate 40 years in 2013.
QED Brand Manager Jack Fox said: "It incorporates the advanced asymmetric ‘Complementary Conductor™’ geometry, first introduced in QED’s acclaimed high end ‘Reference’ and ‘Signature’ interconnects, and delivers unprecedented performance, build quality and value at its price.”
The cable benefits from QED’s new Anamate phono plugs, which feature “precision, gold-plated, high-purity copper, twin ground leaves and hollow central pin”. QED says these combine to help “maintain the fidelity of the delicate audio signal from start to finish”.
The cable is also protected from high frequency interference, thanks to three layers of insolation, including a “floating” ferrite jacket.
The QED Performance 40 will be available from July in four lengths: 0.6m (£39.95); 1.0 (£44.95); 2.0m (£54.95); and 3.0m (£64.95).
