The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
The final acts in this exchange came from a second respondent who is more aware of the PlayStation 3’s capabilities
“Why not keep it and use it as Blu-Ray player?” he says.
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.
He is happily attempting to watch his behemoth without the aid of any high definition disc player.
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.
Yes 2008 may well be a pivotal year for the PS3, but it could be even bigger for Sony if some further permeation of consumer psyche, can get the notion of a PS3 as a games machine only can be quashed.
