Indeed - as one of them pointed out "If you have 2 HD displays you can
automatically
get panoramic views, or even be doing video chat while watching a movie or
playing a
game"...  Of course if you're Sony then you probably could have 2 HD
displays, most
of us can;t afford 1... :(

Well the good news is that it has gigabit ethernet - that's a start :)
They did mention streaming video over the network - although they fell
short of saying "from your PC" - I'll make a guess that they're
thinking
about streaming direct to your ps3 as a service, a bit like going to
Blockbuster without the going outside, driving, buying old popcorn and
being unable to find the movies you wanted ending up in yet another
showing of "Ace Ventura" while you cower in the corner...
