Here is a idea for Sony. Why not put a PS3(hardware) into a Sony TV to make the first ever gaming TV. It would kinda be like a Mac where the entire computer is in the Moniter. So the PS3 TV will double as a TV and a gaming console. There will be some sort of DVD/Blu ray drive at the side of the Tv just like a Mac.

Came up with this idea in a dream( I am not joking).

Warning: PS3 Tv will destroy all Wii's and Xbox 360's when connected.

Not everbody would want a PS3 with their TV or a PS3 in that TV (they want different TV). Sounds like a good idea but I don't see it selling much.

It sounds like a good idea at first glance but what happens when a better tv comes out and you want to make an upgrade? That's just one problem I can think of. Plus it would be so much more expensive I'm willing to bet.

It's a good idea but, there are plenty of things to consider IMO. :D

  • Temperature (HDTV's are hot plus the operating temperature of the console.)
  • Size and weight
  • Lifespan (If the HDTV lifespan will last up to 10years, I doubt the console built into it will be.)
  • OS conflict betwee TV's and console.
  • There may be more...

First you'll have to find a way to convince the public that the TV they already own is garbage and that they should buy Sony's TV+PS3.

Maybe if Sony had thought of this a long time ago, they could implement PS3s into the new 3D TVs, but it's too late for that now.

For some reason I thought I had seen somewhere that Sony has already done this in Japan. It was horribly overpriced and kind of a flop because of the price. or I'm just imagining things. Either way, it's a pretty neat idea.

It is getting possible the more advanced we get, but I doubt it will ever happen, for the same reasons it has never happend.

  • The TV would have to be quite big, not as in screen size but for all the space needed to house the hardware
  • People upgrade there TV's all the time, so this would be a bad finachal choice
  • It would be incredably expensive I mean I'd reckon it would be 1000GBP and by that fact wouldnt sell.
  • If it breaks it would be difficult to fix.
  • Why would you actully want one?

It's a nice idea, but it does ruin the portability of it.
