It's a brilliant idea! I mean, just look at how successful the PSX was!

... oops.

PSX? Oh yeah! You mean what the PS1 was called before the PS2 came out. I know what you mean, I think they may have even called it PSX too. But to be fair, they never really gave it a big push and it also was never released in America or Europe.

The best thing about this new AV centric ps3 is that all of your entertainment will fore go the 3d of most of todays standard gen systems, it will even fore go the 4d of the ps3 and will actually present all entertainment in full featured 5d. Thats right folks...the future is here with 5d from sony.

Very good!

But me not being uber-savvy I don’t get why you would need separate hdmi for sound and vision?

How many sets are going to have more than 2 hdmi slots??

Almost. It's a bit confusing, because PSX was the codename for the PS1... And is also the name of a PS2/TV Set Top Box hybrid by Sony that was released sometime after the PS2. I was referring to the latter, in a moment of sarcasm. :-)

The PSX was a white slab of concrete (well it looked like one) and as well as being a functional PS2 it had a hard drive to record TV shows and stuff. It all sounds very similar to Sony's ideas for rejigging the PS3 architecture to accommodate TV/Home Movie viewers.

It will fail. :F
