Ahaaa! Exactly what Sony intended, buy a spanking new high definition LCD panel and get into the world of high definition discs. But so far the response from the new TV owner has been simply “!??!”
And this is not the only example. Within the same company, a manager purchased a new 70” XBR Bravia TV (around AU$10,000) and gave his free PS3 away.

Sony will be happy either way, continued acceptance of the PS3 configuration as a sales worthy item, along with an increase in PS3 install base figures. This will flow onto more support from third parties in game and other feature development.
