so technically PS3 Slim $1999 would be a PS1 with Internet?

I don't believe what he's posting, but he mentions that blu-ray playback for movies will be locked unless you pay $80. |
That makes no sense. It costs Sony just as much to make, but it's less revenue for Sony and less value for the customer.
A PS3 without a fully-operational Blu-ray just isn't going to happen. It's the only defining feature the PS3 has.

Disabling Blu-ray movie playback would make no financial sense for Sony since they are a major stake holder in the Blu-ray format and get some royalty fees from every Blu-ray movie sold.

The Xbox couldnt play DVD movies unless you purchased the DVD Controller, once the controller receiver was attached it could play Movies. BD-Movie playback will be software locked, once the purchase the unlock software you will be able to play BD-Movies. Sony knows that most of the people that buy the cheaper Slim will eventually buy the software upgrade to watch BD-Movies. But by doing it this way they will be able to better compete with the Xbox Arcade in price. |
Wow. You actually make Michael Pachter sound smart......
Well, this would also force developers to use hard drive only. It would give nice upperhand for PS3 when comparing to X360. However I don't think this will happen. After all PS3 ~= blueray(or thats what kind of image Sony has been sending).
