Here's some good news for those planning to play Blu-ray movies on their PS3. At the Tokyo Game Show, Sony announced that they will be adding an HDMI port to the 20GB version of the console.
Sony's forthcoming 20GB version of the PlayStation 3 video game console will feature an HDMI 1.3 output, the company announced Friday at the Tokyo Game Show.
The port, which had been previously announced as standard on the stepped-up 60GB model, allows games to be played in full high-definition video and audio.
The company said its decision was made in part by the "sharp increase" in flat-panel televisions now sold with high-definition multimedia interface ports, or HDMI.
Sony also announced that they have dropped the price of the 20GB PS3 in Japan to 49,980 yen ($426), including tax. Unfortunately, it will still cost $499 in the US. More information can be found here.
