$500 PS3 a Possibility

[Jonbo298]

If MS/Sony don't offer "lite" versions of their consoles without all these extra things I won't be buying them for some time. If I already have a tivo, why do I need tivo like functions on my PS3 and Xbox2?

The $500 versions of these consoles (if it happens) will not be the choice for me. I just want a console that plays games. DVD movie playback doesn't matter because it basically doesn't cost much to include playback. I can live with it on consoles. But I just dont need the other stuff that jacks up the price.

I buy consoles to play games, not watch movies or record shows i could be watching while playing my new shiny console.

I think they should stop adding things to them, most people just want them to play games with.
