Meh, the only thing the PS3 has that I know I won't be using out of the box is HDMI, and since I could easily see myself with an HD TV in a few years, that doesn't bother me one bit. Built in Wifi is also a godsend for me (talking about the premium package here).
I'm willing to give Sony the benefit of the doubt for now, especially on rediculous rumours like this. I mean in all seriousness, the details on price for the PS3 are all but set in stone now, and Sony has explicitly stated that there is a maximum price most consumers are comfortable paying for games and that they don't want to cross that line. At the end of the day it's still the only next-gen console I want right now anyway, and likely the only one I'll buy for awhile.
