Sony drops Router Functions from PS3

Posted by Zonk on from the make-it-cheaper,-then dept.

astrokid writes "Well, it has begun. Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 will no longer act as a home network router. How long before more news trickles in about the downgrading of other features?" From the GI.biz article: "Whether that means the bank of network ports on the back of the box has actually been reduced to a single port is not clear, however, as the company has previously hinted that it has other plans in mind for the multiple network ports."

    Sony will drop features until the PS3 specs are identical with those of Windows Codename Longhorn.

    "Did you really expect to see everything they bragged about at the E3 actually become reality?"

    Yes, and I also want a pony. :)
