No PS3 router function

posted by rohit at 2005-07-12 10:48:38 Speaking to Nikkei Electronics, SCE President Ken Kutaragi confirmed that the router functionality has been dropped on the grounds of cost.

However, according to multiple reports across the Internet, it's the router functionality of the PS3 that's in the trash. With speculation that the PS3 could be one of the most expensive home consoles ever, in addition to stiff competition from the cheaper Xbox 360 from Microsoft, Ken Kutaragi reportedly told the publication Nikkei Electronics that all router capabilities for the PS3 have been nixed to make the unit more cost-friendly.
