When the PS3 was announced it had a hefty feature set, some of which did not happen on launch, or ever.
Things that didn't happen: Two HDMI ports, three ethernet ports, and six USB ports.
Backwards PS2 compatability, multiple card reader formats, and SACD support were all dropped later on. Ones that do support SACDs still no longer support digital surround output.
I love my PS3, but Sony seems to have quite a history of over-promising and under-delivering with these announcements, and then cutting features that they launched with down the line as well.
