According to PSX Extreme, Sony has announced that they will be releasing new Blu-ray-less Sony PlayStation 3 on August 12th, 2008 for MSRP $149.99! This unit will NOT include a Blu-ray drive. So right now, you're probably thinking, "WTF?! How am I gonna play games or watch hi-def movies?" Here's Sony's simple explanation:
"The broadband world has expanded considerably," says Aperelli Doorichka, Public Relations Coordinator for SCEI, "nearly 85% of our PlayStation Network users and PlayStation 3 owners access the internet via high-speed cable or high-speed DSL service."
"After extensive research, and witnessing the immense success of full-fledged downloadable games like Warhawk and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Sony will be launching a PlayStation 3 unit that'll allow owners to download a catalog of all currently available PlayStation 3 games via PlayStation Network. It's just one of many ways that Sony offers gamers the ability to pick and choose what suits them best."
