According to information garnered from a leaked company memo, the new iteration Sony’s PlayStation 3 which is dubbed the ‘K series’ will no longer support Blu-ray output over analog cables. Current models of the console can deliver full 1080p content over its component-put port; however, if this next revision is implemented, Blu-ray output will be restricted to only HDMI. This continues Sony’s trend of actually removing features from its console since the day of release.
Just like in all other cases, Sony has justification for removing this feature too. Apparently, the company is complying with AACS standards that are restricting output of BD content to ‘interlaced standard definitions’. Furthermore, by the end of 2013 the AACS will prohibit transmission of decrypted AACS content using analog signals. The only silver lining in this new standard is the implementation of Mandatory Media Copy (MMC), which allows the owners of BD to copy content of the disc for use in home theatre systems or digital media players. Currently, Sony maintains that it will not release a firmware update that removes the ability of the console’s older models to deliver BD content over component cables. However, to be on the safe side, do not expect to Sony to shy away from backing up on their words.
