Lower-Price PS3 Mostly Upgradeable
jchenx writes "One of the biggest questions remaining after the Sony press conference and E3 last week was whether or not the core PS3 package could be upgraded to the premium one. It looks like that question has been answered. GI.biz reports that the core version can upgraded with WiFi and memory card adapters, as well as a higher capacity hard drive. However, HDMI output will be non-upgradeable."
Sony is the company insisting that the HD era is ready for primetime, and they are the company trying to "plug the analog hole" that non-HDMI standards have.
They are not only unnecessarily making life difficult for consumers, they are subverting their own HD message with the cheaper model.
BLAH BLAH BLAH Im tired of reading about everyone's lame ass opinion on what will be the result of the console wars. Everyone and their stupid brother thinks they know exactly what is happeneing here. Are you the CEO of Sony? No? Then shut the fuck up. The point is, this competition calls for desperate measures thus creating wonderful things for us consumers. That is all we should care about. Im tired of listening to wailing fangirls in heat over prices - as if they have invested in said companies.
