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."

    Did anyone find this kinda strange

    Play Station or PS
    Play Station 2 or PS2
    Play Station one or PSone
    Play Station X or PS10
    Play Station 3 or PS3

    What other orders can they screw up. What will be the next Play Station name PSpie? PSzulu? PS=MC^2?

    Is Sony aware that Slashdot is using its logo on its website that some people *pay* to read? What about the PS2 gamepad? The big Microsoft IE logo? Nintendo's GameBoy? Etc., etc.

    It seems to me that if written permission isn't granted to use copyrighted logos to get people to read a story on a website that some people *pay* to read (that Slashdot and its owning entities (whomever that may be this month) profit from) isn't really above board and honest and screams "sue me!!" at the top of its lungs.
