Ok call me thicker then the average Sont exec here but this seems like a stupid idea.
Sony pres: "Ok guys lets REALLY push this Blu-Ray format on the PS3"
PS3 exec: "No worries we have two models..a non HDMI version and a full HDMI version. But both will have Blu-Ray"
Sony pres: "So what's the lower one gonna use Blu-Ray for if it cant output HDMI? Or is that just our 'catch all' for the PS3?"
PS3 exec: (nervously looks around the room) "Keep it down...keep it down"
I mean why push the storage and video res of Blu-Ray and then sell a model that cant use the video res?
Put a damn DVD in the cheaper one,u losers!
