Sony has announced at TGS 2006 that the Sony Playstation 3 with the 20GB hard drive will have the HDMI port, and that is not all, it will now also have a lower price, atleast in Asia, of $429 USD, which is over $100 off the original price we were expecting it to be. This is no doubt a tactic to try to draw attention away from what the other two console makers are doing, and a good way to do it. Getting their prices closer to the other machines and including HDMI on all of their machines puts them back into the highly competitive arena.
