That sounds like he took it straight from Nintendo and swapped out the names and switched "gaming" with "computer".

He can't be serious, servers are some of the most powerful systems around, about the same as top-of-the-line gaming systems except with a lot more memory and hard drive space and sometimes multiple CPU's. I guess he was referring to Sony's own servers that they use for their PS2 network.

Of course they'll take the initiative, but either they'll fail miserably or they'll manage to lie and cheat their way to success. He's probably only pleased to be involved because Sony is filthy rich and gives him a crap load of money.

However, HDMI penetration has come faster than expected. He then asks people if they want HDMI in all models. Everyone in the audience says yes. He then confirms that all models, including the 20 gig version, will have an HDMI port.

Pwned! That shows how little Sony really knows about their customers, and for a change they actually decided to listen to what they want. I bet the price of the cheap package will be bumped up $50 now.
