An interesting tidbit from Engadget Japanese bureau – according to them, Sony’s Ken Kutaragi announced that a A/V-Centric PS3 would soon be offered by the company. The gadget will take full advantage of Cell Technology and include a "more powerful supply unit, anti-shake insulator, twice the main memory, and 2x HDMI to split sound and video output." Fun stuff, eh?
