Not sure what all the to-do with PS3 is, I thought that was a game system that played movies? When I checked the back at the store, there was no analog output, digital coax, and I think it was missing some other outputs, as well. Also, game drives are known for going out, not AV drives. I think that's how they get away with charging 600, cuz you're gonna need a new one in a few years...

I thought the PS3 is being marketed by Sony as an entertainment hub, something that will take over the living room? That is much more apparent now with the 1.8 update. I think that the PS3 is more than just a game console to many members here.

Please explore the forums on what the 1.8 update can do before you downplay what many of us hold precious.
