Rumour: Sony releasing redesigned PS3 with even MORE features?

Eurogamer is reporting that Sony are to redesign the Playstation 3, being based from the same chipset design. Eurogamer mentions that "According to the source, it will also include a software suite for managing streaming of content to TVs and hi-fis, and feature improved output" and that the new machine may "only" be 18 months away.

If this is actually true, then colour me gobsmacked. The general consensus seems to be that the Playstation 3 is overambitious as it is, with the Blu-ray drive that a lot of people have told me they "don't need" often being the subject of much criticism. For Sony to add even more to the the thing by bolting video streaming capabilities on, and for a redesign to be rumoured this soon, leaves me very confused indeed. Something about this rumour, if true, seems to shout 32X to me: a newly dethroned market leader thinking that more and more technology will solve their problems, and drowning in what appears to be disorganisation.

I've known this for quite a while now, I'm guessing about 16/17 Months.

But I'll be sticking with my big hunk of a Game machine which i haven't touched for god knows how long.

The more features i guess could probably be purchased as Accessories to the original and/or Firmware updates.

Also isn't one of the main reason it ain't selling because of the price, it going up can't really help out procedures.

Actually whilst i was typing this, i remembered reading it was going to have less features than the original.

I'll put this essay to an end.

If they really want to improve the PS3, they'll strip the Blue Ray drive out, lower the cost by 200 dollars, and produce a decent game for the system.

Out of all the time the PS3 has been around, it's failed to do any of these things. It's an overpriced behemoth that offers absolutely nothing more than the substantically more affordable and overall better Xbox 360.

And with such a ridiculous move like this, I think Sony deserves to go down the toilet, financially the way they have been. I honestly hope that they pay for their stupidity in the form of the PS3 driving Sony completely bankrupt.
