It won't be $600! Isn't that awesome!?
http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/ken-kutaragi-sez-i-promise-an-av-centric-ps3/ No, it won't. because it's going to be $2,500.
The new Sony-branded living room box would, in Ken's (translated) words, "be a standard AV component sized box with a more powerful, power supply unit, anti-shake insulator, twice the main memory, and 2x HDMI to split sound and video output."
I'm sorry, but a more powerful supply unit, more memory, and a split on sound and video output doesn't add up to much of that $2,500. Which means the fucking anti-shake insulator is costing a lot of that. Really, what the fuck? Are people playing on fault-lines safe now?
Sony knows corporate suicide.
And Ken is smoking some crazy shit.
