Do you guys think PS3 will become even cheaper as more features are removed?

-Linux Support

-PS2 BC

-USB Ports

-Memory Card Readers

What's next? Blu Ray support? I hope so, the quality isn't worth the often +$10 more than the DVD version.

None of the above features you mentioned are pricey to include.

Like I said earlier...

That would be sweet. If Sony get digital distribution right by not overpricing the hardware, causing people to falsely believe that digital distribution is made of fail, then I am all for it.

I had to sell my PS3 because they removed the OS feature. I just didn't want it anymore.aaronmullan

Linux was removed to avoid hacking, even though apparently you can still use Linux somehow after the patch.

BC was taken out to lower the manufacturing price so they could drop the price.

USB ports were removed so they could drop the price

What's the point of a memory card reader when it doesn't have BC?

And you think they would take away blu-ray? That would be kind of useless to sell a console that doesn't even play its own games

EvanTheGamer

Anything to make it cheaper to produce.

The PS3 has advanced a lot since it was launched

BPoole96

If by advance you mean downgrade...

Why wouldn't they make it cheaper to produce? Sony was losing money with every console sold. In order for them to do a price cut they would have to cut some things out so they wouldn't lose even more money than before.

If you compare the PSN now to what it was when it launched you wouldn't be saying its been downgraded

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"] What are you talking about? The Sixaxis has absolutely nothing to do with the decision to remove BC.

I didn't say it was more expensive. I said I'd rather have BC, and maybe if they hadn't focused on the Sixaxis at first, they could have saved some money and kept BC. Wishful thinking, true, but, w/e.

Why are people even taking this topic seriously?

Do some people just hate movies? What has blu-ray ever done to you?

on one hand you are wanting ps3 so much that you want it to get cheaper on the other hand you are making fun of it?

what is it that you want again?
