Low-End PS3 Comes with HDMI, Cheaper in Japan

jayintune writes "2old2play has a nice round-up on the main talking points from the Sony Keynote speech at the 2006 TGS (Tokyo Game Show). Most notably, Sony announced HDMI ports will be included on ALL models of the PS3. Initially, Sony was worried that if they put the HDMI in the lower version, some would complain about having to pay for something they don't want. Apparently they realized people would be more upset without it." Additionally, it's been confirmed that the cheaper PS3 will be even less expensive ... in Japan. For now, it seems this price drop only affects the Japanese Market. For many additional viewpoints on the announcement and keynote, click through to see this post's associated links.

Microsoft isn't going to be putting out HD-DVD games. Any game that can play on any future Xbox 360 will play on the current ones. Any HD-DVD drives that are included or available for the 360 will be for playing movies only.
