Sony Promises New Kind Of PS3

For those still waiting impatiently for the first PS3 to arrive, Sony boss Ken Kutaragi is already promising a special PS3 that will put audio and video (AV) capabilities first, with gaming second.

This new box might look similar to your typical AV kit, like an Ken_kutaragi_ps3 AV receiver, with a bigger power supply unit, twice as much memory, an anti-shake insulator, and two HDMI inputs.

This move certainly supports opinion that Sony has always wanted the PS3 to be more of a living room entertainment hub than just a gaming rig. For those of you still choking on the proposed cost of a regular PS3, then forget about this version.

Kutaragi expects this to be a lot more expensive since they will be positioning it as a piece of high-end AV kit. Early speculation says it could cost as much £1,300.
