The PS3 in 2005 and now

The above slide is taken from Sony's E3 2005 press conference -- boy, what a difference a year makes. A dejected gamer has put together a YouTube video just over a minute long highlighting the promises Sony made last year on the PlayStation 3 that have since changed. Of note, the loss of HDMI outputs (downgraded from 2 to only 1 on the premium console), ethernet ports (now only 1), and controller inputs (from 7 to 4).

What we are wondering is how much the system would have cost if the PlayStation 3 met 2005 specifications. You can view the video by clicking on the "continued reading" link below.
