PS3 is 300 dollars now

The cell processor got reduced to 45nm from 65 or something, so yes it is valid, it also takes up less voltage, power, space, etc.

And HDMI is not an "upgrade", it's called being logical, if you have an HD device you're selling, it's common sense to put a hdmi port there.

Also, how is it better to have 512mb of memory built in and an option to pay 100 dollars for a ripoff harddrive versus just having a harddrive?
Ha ha Phoenix, I just like to read up on things i like, and right now, i truly have nothing to do

Because some people don't need any of that. Are you aware that many people own PS3s and 360s and don't have internet access? What the fuck are those people going to do with ALLLLL OF THE GIGABYTES?

Because, for some people, they just want something to play a few games on, and they shouldn't have to pay extra for a bunch of ancillary bullshit they wouldn't use anyway.

Of course, the PS3 needs the hard drive, because god forbid they compress anything on BluRay. You have to install EVERYTHING.
