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."

    I suppose with MS continually dropping features from longhorn people have started to become suspicious of other companies following the same game plan.

    Somehow his doesn't really come as much of a surprise and I'd be willing to bet that this isn't the first thing to be dropped...
