The 256MB of XDR in the PS3 costs about $70 so this would cost at least $910 to manufacture. Given that they are also modifying other components the cost should be about $925-$1000

What kind of mixed message from Sony... they say their machine is a multimedia powerhouse, YET they'll relasea a "multimedia oriented PS3"... with not-so-great upgrades, for double what it costs to _manufacture_ it (and more than quadruple of the PS3's selling point!)... yeah, it suuuuuuuuure looks like a hit... in their wallet

"... and two HDMI connectors to divide audio and video data."
HDMI was thought up in the first place to unite audio and video data! Why the hell is this being done?

Sony is an true expert in the AV field. It answers the demand of true AV gamers who want a premium audio-visual quality "console". Currently all PS3 and 360 do not meet this requirement as both consoles have to be illed with cost control component reduction. Back in 2003, Sony already launched a special version PS2 in Japan, called PSX, which employed a top quality DACs and audio/video component that can let PSX pair up to HiFi/HiVi quality. Now I am looking forward for a $2000 PS3 version PSX so that can fully unlock the potential of SACD and BluRay format.

Anybody else think that maybe Sony's trying to find a way to "gracefully" extricate themselves from the console wars that they pretty much started? Yeah, I know this new Playstation 3 Mark 2 Super Happy Fantastic Whatever will play the games, but at $2500 and being specifically tailored for higher end home entertainment centers they are not exactly attempting to expand to a larger target audience.
Sony has really pissed me off this generation. All I want to do is play MGS4 and Final Fantasy XIII, and it already sucks that I'm going to have to do that on a machine filled with extraneous crap I don't want in the first place but will still have to pay an arm and a leg for. Sony's philosophy epitomizes why we, as a species, are fucked. Sony isn't planning ahead, they're simply telling us to bend over so they can fuck US in the ass, and people are actually maneuvering into position. Screw that.

Well this seems one of the main things that Sony hoped out of PS3, a descent home cinema thing.
The CELL chip and 512MB are enough for HD.

Well some fools will buy it for sure.
It's priced like an prestige object* and I'm sure it was meant to be one. Even Sony couldn't be stupid enough to think that much people will buy this piece of crap.

"Sony Promises Third PlayStation 3 Version for Video Dumba$$ Fanatics for $2500". Just to close the $ hole opened by the "rootkit affaire" (suits & suits losts) and the $ black hole born by laptop's batteries burn. I think Sony have lost any sense of reality. And yes, I'm sorry.

For those gamers without any AV/HiFi equipment knowledge here and those who can't read Japanese,
The original Japanese article from PC watch that XBit Labs quoted stated that the "AV-HiFi" version PS3 will offer seperated audio/video circuitry, HiFi quality ultra stable power supply (I believe should be the same award winning "R core transformer" that always appear in Sony's top ES line SACD/DVD player), as well as seperated digital audio/video output thur dual HDMI.
What that actually means? The AV Elite version PS3 can now output video and audio at even better quality. If u are using a 108" projector, it's a good news as 360's oldie analog output can never satisfy ur need!
