Da prendere con il tradizionale beneficio d'inventario, ma oggi Tom's Hardware ha tra le altre cose postato questa notizia:
Of course, we were interested in why Sony did not run the units with HDMI. There may be an obvious explanation, but we received some surprising answers from Sony's staff. First, we were told that it isn't easy to get a hold of HDMI-equipped TVs. We found this to be very strange, because after all we were at the Sony booth and all the television sets had HDMI inputs. On the second try, we were told that the reason for not using HDMI was that Sony did not have any HDMI cables and that "they are difficult to find". Matt Butrovich, a former intern with Tom's Hardware and who walked the show floor with us, offered the staff to use one of the HDMI cables he actually had in his car and connect the PS3 with the TVs. Sony officials turned down the offer and we were left without seeing the demos in HD.
Somehow we feel that there was another reason for not showing the PS3 with HDMI. In fact, the explanation could be as simple as the PS3's HDMI wasn't compatible with the HDMI spec integrated in the TVs. Recently it was announced that the PS3 will use HDMI 1.3, which will use an expansion of the audio channels and offer Dolby TrueHD as well as DTS-HD. Current TVs generally use HDMI 1.1, which do not support these extensions and create significant audio noise when connected to a HDMI 1.3 device.
In poche parole, parrebbe che la PS3 per funzionare correttamente via HDMI abbia bisogno di un ingresso con specifiche 1.3, mentre la gran parte di quelli montati sugli HDTV attualmente in commercio sarebbero 1.1, cosa che causerebbe "un notevole rumore audio".
Quindi chi pensa di comprarsi ora un HDTV per un futuro utilizzo con la nuova console Sony ci pensi bene..
