Untrue, except for Hard drive size, which was surpassed by the 80 GB, the 60 GB NTSC version of the PS3 was the one with the most features, since then the others have been stripped of various thngs

*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. 

 

 

so they dropped GAMING functionality and added MEDIA functionality?

 to MOST consumers, that is a BAD deal...consumers care more about playing GAMES on their GAME CONSOLE than media functionality
