And even without HDMI the lower priced model can still deliver HD via component. While this may be true for games, blue ray movies (and HDDVD for that matter) will only output HD via a HDMI port, it is an integral part of the DRM. No HDMI means 480p for your movies, i.e.: DVD quality. This mean

Controlling anything with the tilt controller is ridiculously difficult. I used one of the sidewinder joysticks that had the technology on the pc, and it just is not a good method for input. You would be better off with a proper joystick or the thumbsticks. I don't see anything innovative from Son

I had a motion sensitive PC game controller for ages. THe one where you could tilt it left to move left etc. Never helped me with games. And if the controller is shaped the same as the dual shock I can't see anyone using it as anything other than a normal controller. Tilting the thing just wasn't

Thats crazy that it costs $100 more for only 40 more gigs. You can buy 400gb for 160 today. Wonder if you can put your own hard drive in. Bluetooth is cool. Wonder if they will allow other things to hook up to it. Like a bluetooth headset. I thought it would be cool to use the same headset that

I think that the Blu-Ray player, backwards compatability, and hard drive will make this the gaming system. Unfortunately I won't be able afford it for a while. Maybe I'll break down and buy a Revolution. I have heard it is only going to be around $200.00. J ~~~
