you forget that, you will need to buy a usb HD -Drive in the future
whereas sony have 50gb capable bluray drive

But, the external HD won't cost us an extra £100

We're missing 2x Ethernet, 2x HDMI and the USB have been moved to the front... Problem with that is you'll be tied into buying a Sony AV cable, and you won't be able to daisy chain HDMI devices through it, which means if you have a TV with only one HDMI and two HDMI devices you're in trouble.

pinkacidbootson · 9 May 2006 at 03:26

Surely they havnt got rid of the HDMI ports :confused:

We must be missing something?

They're doing what Microsoft did, a proprietary AV out that they can then team up with overpriced optional cables.

I wonder how dual screen hdmi will work then?

erm no we don't need to buy one, its a option - its a player only for films only, if you don't want it you don't need it

Wheres everyone watching the Microsoft conference tonight ? Nintendo one is covered on a few sites but no Msoft ..

Just read this about PS3 also.. pretty shocking :

"As it turns out, a little examining of Sony's announcement press release reveals the $499 model will lack support for Memory Sticks, SD and Compact Flash cards, no built-in Wi-Fi and will surprisingly have the HDMI output removed (necessary for achieving the much bragged about 1080p screen resolution)"

They seem to have gotten rid of the fact of the whole 2x HDMI ports, now they're just saying 1x HDMI port for the higher priced PS3, leading me to believe they may have scrapped the idea maybe.

Chewy · 9 May 2006 at 13:52

What was the thinking behind a second HDMI port? I must have missed it all first time round.
