In an interview with Japan magazine Impress, Ken Kutaragi, chairman of Sony’s video game division, has promised to release an “AV Centric PS3.” AV would of course mean Audio/Visual. An AV Centric PS3 would focus on Audio and Video first, and gaming second (if they even decide to use it for gaming). Impress estimates the cost of one of these bad boys would be nearly $2,500! Kutaragi says that this new PS3 will “be a standard AV component sized box with a more powerful power supply unit, anti-shake insulator, twice the main memory, and 2x HDMI to split sound and video output.”
