The Playstation 3 is on the horizon, and the SCEE president David Reeves has let slip some information about the up and coming console, including plans for a cut down Playstation 2 similar to the PSone. Also planned will be non-region encoding of games (the DVD element will still have be region coded however) and David goes onto mention a few tipbits about the PSP.
Reeves further suggested that in addition to a PlayStation 3 "intrinsically linked with PSX", "also there might be a normal PS3 for gamers, who just want to play the movies and have better games." The "home server" version of PlayStation 3, which has "all-singing, all-dancing features with maybe a hard disk drive", could retail for "whatever it might be, €600 or €700" according to Reeves, while the alternative might be for people who "just [want] to pay 200 Euros for a new generation games machine".
