PS3 Router Functions Dropped

The so called "poo poing" is rightly justified. It was a feature that simply wasn't needed, also the extra ports aren't needed either IMO. and I can see at least one of them go. it only makes sense to not include features that would raise cost. I can see them dropping to one or two usb ports instead of three (there's just no real need for it.), and one DVI port by dropping the whole 1080p feature altogether.

Why? because it's a logical thing to do. You simply don't include features that will seldom be used by developers or the consumer if they add to the cost of the over all system. My opinion is not based on the theory that "it's cool to see features dropped". I'm not as paper thin as the people that are rushing out to deny that anything was cut. now that's a foolish thing to do.

 

Let's put it this way, the drama going down at Sony right now will be documented in TV shows and books in the future...It's that bad.

Kutaragi's PS3 will be chopped down to be as cost effective as possible, so this is really only a hint of what is to come.

 

I hope it's documented! Not that I would characterize things as 'that bad' though.

 

The router function was dead meat anyways, good that they decided to shave it off.

The person who came up with the idea of a router built into a game console is sabotaging Sony.

 

Some of you guys need to reread the thread. There was no features cut. At least, nothing cut from the E3 spec. This is a spec that was cut down prior to E3. Much like the 4-Cell BBE was cut down to a single 1-7 Cell. Drama queens a go-go. :lol PEACE.

 

It was announced at E3 that it could have built in router/switch capabilities. Sony didn't say a word outside cell talk before that time. Anyway, what does it matter WHEN it was cut? It's cut, end of story...

 

I'm locking this due to the bickering
