The PlayStation Paradigm: Lateral Advancement or Vertical Regression?

GameXplain Writes: "The story of the videogame console is, and always has been, a simple one: a magical little box of plastic that hooks up to a television set and wondrously delivers interactive content. This has been the secret to its success for nearly 40 years – how it banished PC gaming to a walled-off ghetto and replicated its success in miniature with the handheld market."

I think I agree?

personally i just want a videogame player whose sole purpose is to play games. i don't need facebook, i don't need netflix, i don't need 3D and blu-ray players, i already have most of that with other devices.

the industry needs a return to simplicity: games, games, games and nothing else. stop trying to be low-end pcs and media centers. jack of all trades, master of none.

I`ll keep the BR drive in the PS3...thanks. But I hear what your saying and mostly agree.

As long as it doesn't affect the games then I don't see how it's a bad thing to do other things. You may like paying extra money for a bluray player but most will disagree. In the case of the Ps3 it's master of multiple trades.
