"Kotaku added that there's also a headphone jack but it's unclear whether this will end up on the final product."
Can someone explain to me why this even requires thought from Sony? A headphone port costs like 5p each when mass producing them surely? You get a lot of value added for that 5p. Is this to simplified? Can someone who knows more about factory production elaborate?
