How does this work? If games are on blu-ray disc, and this PS3 does not have blu-ray functionality. Then what is it good for?
I honestly do not believe a single word of that article. It doesn't make sense, if they remove backwards compatibility from the PS3, then remove the functionality of Blu-ray from the PS3. What's left of it? A pretty-shelf ornament for Xbox 360 fan boy's to buy just to stick next to their 360's and pretend they have a PS3? No, If sony needs to cut costs on hardware to reduce the price of the PS3. Removing Blu-ray is not the logical answer.
Seriously, couldn't they come up with a better idea to, excuse my french but bullshit us with? Infact, I'll think of one right now. Remove Wi-Fi? A minor change that could easily shave off a couple bucks off the sticker price. I'm pretty sure no one would mind having to run a eternet cable to their PS3 anyway.
Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?
