New Blu-ray laser could cut PS3 costs further
What's better than a giant blue laser? A tiny blue laser, especially when we're referring to the laser slapped into the PlayStation 3 during manufacturing. A new Blu-ray laser has been created that could significantly lower the cost of production as well as look a lot cooler than the fatty laser being used currently.
This is, of course, assuming Sony places the laser in the console. Who knows -- maybe Sony will stick the new laser into systems without saying anything. It'll help their bottom line and get our systems running more ... efficiently? Or a price cut and new SKU will get announced. It's anyone's guess.
