it's not bad but when they are adding a feature that won't be even used in games and will be as popular as linux on ps3 which means will be used by a huge group of maybe 8 people not to mention to actually have ability to use that feature you have to spend 4x more money than on ps3 alone. and then sony can't give me simple features that actualy DOES matter that were even on past ps3 models like 4 usb ports, memory cards reader, BC or SACD playback. those things were promised as a core ps3 features since ps3 announcement. |
Oh yes, I sitll remember the worldwide ad campaign: "PS3, the PS2 with 4 USB ports and a card reader"
Again as I said in my previous post: they are not adding a functional feature. You are not paying extra money. Using the latest revision of an HDMI chip did not hold them back from other features.
The PS3 was always positioned as a console/mediacenter with the vantages of a computer/console: powerful stream processing, easily upgradeable in software to support various standards. And that's what moved a certain number of units in the prosumer market. People who - differently from me and you - really have an home-theater system and care about being able to play those formats.
Thus talking about BC or two extra USB ports or card reading hardware - which were cut years ago to cut down costs - into a thread about direct bitstreaming of two previously supported audio standards (about which you also demonstrated to be quite ignorant) has no logical reason. Unless, you know, you're just trolling.
