    PS3 will be going down this gen:

    - The system doesn't have any ports for PS2/PSone memory cards, instead the PS3 will only use Memory Stick Pro Duo's for saving PSO, PS2, and PS3 data. So you will have to start your games all over again.

    - Because of the lack of PSO/PS2 ports, the other periphericals won't work.

    - The DVD remote control will be the PSP.

    - The 80GB HDD will only be used for multimedia not for gaming.

    - 720P will be standard but Sony hopes they can get 480i(standard TV resolution) support so people won't have to buy an HDTV just play PS3 games. However though, they aren't sure if they can get that feature in it. So in other words it will be essential to have those very expensive HD televisions in order to use the PS3.

    - PS3 will not be aimed as a gaming system.

    In other words, you will need to buy more stuff to use it and will cost around 3000$ depending on the HDTV you buy unless you already have one. Don't come saying everyone will have an HDTV because it will be standard soon. HDTV's will only be standard around 2008, very close to another generation of consoles. Once it becomes standard, the prices will still be high and the % of people that have them will only rise a bit and still a lot of people won't have one since not everyone "standarizes". The people that will buy one will most likely only have one and I want a console to be able to work on all my TV's.

    Also according to Gamespot, Sony is delaying PS3 to 2007. Can I say "retarded" as in both ways you can use it?

    when HDTVs become standard almostr everyone will get one...
    the reason? low definition TVs will no longer function because they won't get useable TV signal.

    Well that depends on where you live actually. Some cable companies will probably do that, most of them will have both. Why? The providers will lose too much money if they make people buy HDTV's. A lot of people don't have the money to buy one, they would be stupid if they did that too many people would cancel their services.

    M$ is like that too you know.
