the HDMI thingy not confirm yet, maybe got maybe not. People are speculating that the $399 will be without the HDMI output because making Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Philips, Pioneer will be very angry  at Sony if HDMI is included. People will be drawn to get a dua function $399 PS3 instead of the one function only BD players at <$500.

anyhow - since Xbox component can support 1080p gaming content, PS3 should be able to do the same lah.

yeah, i read that rumors that they'll remove E.E chip and the ps2 gfx board. to cut cost.
what i dont get it, isnt backward compatibility is within the software itself?
how are they gonna implement that when newer firmware with patching ps2 games
be installed on these non-backward ps3?.

hopefully they'll release this soon, coz raya is not so far away tongue.gif
erk, spiderman 3 bd? i'd rather use it to clean my shyte. sweat.gif
