If the pricing/SKU dug up at Target is any indication, the rumored 40GB PS3 will indeed be landing on American shores (10/28?) for a low $400. As a satisfied Xbox 360 owner, I’m not really looking for a new gaming device. However, the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market that also happens to offer games could be tempting. Especially if Sony makes good on some of these other announced features… Megazone picked up more info regarding their Playstation video download and placeshifting aspirations:
âWe are building a software infrastructure to distribute video and music, more particularly video, through the PlayStation Network,â? said Sir Howard Stringer, Sony chief executive, during an interview in Moscow. âThat is a Japanese and American combined effort to build a platform around a common software architecture to distribute video via the PlayStation network into the [PSP handhelds] and beyond.â?
