Quote: Kutaragi really wants you to know the PS3 is a computer. Plus, 120GB hard drives?
June 16, 2006 - PlayStation head-honcho Ken Kutaragi has been making a concerted effort lately to let people know the PlayStation 3 is intended to be a computer and not just a game system. Adding further leverage to this argument are comments Kutaragi made recently in an interview with Japanese newspaper Nikkei BP.
According to GamerNode, Kutaragi hinted at the PlayStation 3 being offered on a built-to-order basis, as many PCs are.
Kutaragi says, "A PS3 just for you!
"As the PlayStation 3 is a computer, we might even offer it on a built-to-order basis, customized to the needs of each and every user," Kutaragi is quoted as saying. "The hardware components have been designed in a modularized format with this possibility in mind."
When the PS3 launches this November, it will be available with a 20GB hard drive for $499 or a 60GB hard drive for $599. As an example of built-to-order possibilities, Kutaragi indicated that larger 120GB hard drives could be available as early as next year.
