[quote:a6b34]Probably the most exotic of the report's predictions was a reference to Sony's PlayStation 2 update. The report suggests Sony is considering adding PSX and TiVo-like functionality to the PlayStation 3. And if it does, the sticker price on the unit could climb as high as $500. The report states: "We expect Sony to introduce its next console with more functionality than its current console (duh really? oOo: ). We base this conclusion on the introduction of the PSX, planned for late this year. The PSX will include a Digital Video Recorder (similar to TiVo) functionality; broadband Internet accessibility; wireless LAN functionality; and DVD read-write functionality. These features add approximately $500 per unit to the cost of production, resulting in an expected launch price of around $700. By late 2006, we expect the cost to include these features to decline to around $250, but speculate that the next generation console, should it include these features, could debut at $500. At this level, we believe that many consumers will be alienated." [/quote:a6b34]

If all games were like kotor there'd be a mass of suicides among gamers. eek:

But meh, far far too early to say wtf these new consoles are gonna bring, nintendo is bring a revoloution to gaming, all we know about xbox 2 is its ati graphics powered and may be using built in flash ram instead of a hard drive, and ps3's "cell technology".
