Hmmmm... 6 USB.... 3 Ethernet.... 2 HDMI....... Sounds like someone got the prototype specs muddled up with the real thing...

That was what I was thinking and also didn't they cut out the dual HDMI because the PS3 couldn't actually handle running dual 1080p displays? I still remember Sony boasting for ages that it could do that...

Yeah i think i was something to do with developers not being able to smoothley code a game to run on two screens at that resolution...

Edit... Cool, just noiced im over 500 posts. *hapy dance* .... goes back to reality now

The original idea behind the 3 ethernets (i think) was so the ps3 could basically be used as a router.... i think...

Those are prerelease specs. Sony touted for *ages* that it could utilize 2 HDMI ports, then ran with it's tail between it's legs when it quietly said it couldn't handle it. Hell, most games don't even run at 1080p, I dont think it could handle running games like cod4 natively at 1080p over the 1 port it does have anyway.

Okay now see, this is the first indication of it being a false rumor. 2 HDMI ports? First of all, I doubt the hardware can handle 2 HDMI ports and second of all, a second HDMI port would be 100% redundant as there is absolutely no point of a second HDMI port, what, do you need a second TV to show you the exact same thing??? Stupid

Yeah exactly. There isn't even splitscreen in UT3 most likely because it couldn't handle it without a ton of optimizations.

If they added backwards compatibility to that thing, I'd buy one of those for sure. Sure, it'll probably be ?425, but I couldn't give a crap. I'd save and save until I had it.

Why? In reality what use does any of those "extras" even have?
