*sigh*
he said they are dropping functionality, not just hardware.
since launch they have removed:
ps2 bc
2 usb ports
memory card reader.
now, they have added since then:
blu-ray 1.1, divx functionality, ds3 support, dvd/ps1 and ps2 upscaling, remote play functionality, improved image quality (rgb full, super white hdmi), media sharing/streaming, this could go on, but the rest i feel are minor.
i dont know about you but to me it seems they have made the ps3 ALOT more functional than not.

I just explained why those aren't relevant. I'm talking about functionality that early adopters had available to them that later adopters do not. Software features are available to everyone. It's a whole other issue.
In order for them to drop functionality in the sense you're talking about, they would have to do something like have DIVX support available at launch and then disable it in a later firmware update. Then a feature that was available to everyone would become available to no one. That's not the issue in question here. I'm talking strictly about differences between early adopters and later adopters.
