So that is no big deal to me. Besides most people that played PS2 or XB online, prob has it connected wireless anyway.

which means you payed more to make your systems cost more right.i believe the wireless adapter is $90-100 extra right.they added the blu-ray drive for a few reasons to give developers more space to make bigger games in high def 720p,1080i and1080p(I know their is only like 4 games that are going to be in 1080p but when developers get used to the technolgy they'll start having all their games in 1080p.adding the blu-ray drive also gets their high def dvd movie player in a lot more homes then toshiba currently has, they said they would like to have 4 million ps3's sold by the end of 2006 that's a whole lot more then what toshiba has currently sold of their hd-dvd players 15,000 so far and seem to be taking their sweet time getting more on the market.
I have also heard rumors that through the wireless or the ir readers on the ps3 and sony psp their working with logictech to turn the psp into a extremely cool home theater remote that can control everything you have through downloads via internet wouldn't that be awesome i think so.I mean they are going to put everything you can possibley think of in that psp GPS,video chat,evetoy,the locationfree player,rss feeds both video and audio,ps1 games,flash games,lots and lots of stuff.i love new gear.
