When developing the PlayStation, Sony had considered removing its opticaldisk drive, opting instead to require gamers to download titles over the Internet, people familiar with the matter said.
All of the new line of computers boast a 250-watt power supply, a sliding front door allowing for easy access to four USB ports and dual opticaldisk bays.
Currently, HDTVs are compatible with a wide variety of devices via USB connection, including hard drives, cameras, and flash drives, but they do not support opticaldisk drives built for computers.
