price will affect certain people but not all people
so price will not bring it down . One thing economy has shown us is in time of prosperity human will pay for commodities no matter the value . and guess what economy is doing pretty good so don't expect that to bring it down .
people are buying 3000, 6000 for electronics. more people are buying trucks and SUV's then any other time and they know gas is gonna keep going up . we are seeing the highest debt ratio in history right now and why to own things you can't afford.
so a lesson to you in economy don't underestimate the populace in a growing economy.

because if you are buying a 600 dollar unit you would have enough money to buy the component cable at 15 dollars or hdmi cable at 30 dollars separate

actually engadget has been going down hill lately with all their news . they used to give out news and let people comment on it . now if they don't put their 2 cents into it ( and its usually bashing one thing or another not only sony stuff) its not news to them.
i am starting to hate their articles as it sounds like all fanboys talking.

as for sony well i guess the focus is on them this year its been on microsoft and other companies in previous years so all major companies have their day.
the laptop batteries are actually over hyped 1 in 3 million is a really small number compared to actual production of electronics. but sony is trying to fix it by doing a recall usually good PR. they could have as easily said na FU you go deal with your manufacturer.
so be glad they are doing this they could have as easily screwed everybody

LOL might thoughts exactly
hey joystiq you are gonna have some kids thinking dirty all day

Meatstick if you beleive the inquirer is legit info then all power to you the rest of us know better

I will reiterate what somebody has said on another forum maybe it will keep things clear
This makes more sense that the idiot talking on the inquirer


"Local Memory is different from the local cache on the processor core. Just to clear up some confusion that may arise from wording.

The presentation was on the RSX processor. The Inquirer "failed" to divulge this little important piece of information. Local memory to it is like the memory on your video card. Why would your processor need to access this memory?

When programming for the RSX/Cell platform, RSX will read textures from the Main memory and use it's Local memory for processing that data"
