In an interview with Japan magazine Impress, Ken Kutaragi, chairman of Sony’s video game division, has promised to release an “AV Centric PS3.” AV would of course mean Audio/Visual. An AV Centric PS3 would focus on Audio and Video first, and gaming second (if they even decide to use it for gaming). Impress estimates the cost of one of these bad boys would be nearly $2,500! Kutaragi says that this new PS3 will “be a standard AV component sized box with a more powerful power supply unit, anti-shake insulator, twice the main memory, and 2x HDMI to split sound and video output.”

2Then why in the world would they even call it a Play Station? This just makes no sense … maybe there really won’t be a PS4 as we are expecting it to be but some new kind of PS product altogether and this is their way of announcing it? I have no clue what Sony is doing anymore and frankly my dear I don’t give a damn as the saying goes.

3rofl, i just looked at the picture of that guy with the ps3 in the link. is he very very small that the ps3 is almost as big as him or is the ps3 stupidly huge, looks bigger than my desktop tower.

4“gaming second (if at all)” … well now I really don’t understand why even call it a PS anything … uh Sony what the heck are you thinking. Trying to milk the Play Station name to sale hi end electronic AV equipment now? They really have lost their minds.

8I’ve heard that the definition of insanity is when someone does something over and over again, expecting a different result.
So why is Sony trying their PSX again? Do they expect a different result than last time? There has to be some method to Sony’s logic. They can’t possibly act so strangely on accident, can they?
I suspect something fishy going on here. Somebody is somehow making money whenever Sony does something stupid.
