    Sony Brings Web To Playstation
    Sony's 10 million Playstation users can look forward to receiving video and audio over the Internet, as the games console giant forms alliances with major Internet multimedia software companies Macromedia and Realnetworks in a move to become the home entertainment hub that offers Internet access, broadcasts and movies as well as games. Sony has already teamed with AOL Time Warner to enable Playstation 2 users access the Web, email and AOL services. Aligning with Realnetworks and Macromedia extends the multimedia access capabilities of Playstation users.

    Should be just as good as the Dreamcast's internet access, shouldn't it?

    Maybe Ill buy a PS2 game & memory card when it gets net access, Had the thing for 6 months and so far Zero games have impressed me.
    Nice DVD player though, And it looks dam slick beside the stereo. biggrin.gif

    All in all is all we are.

    I lurve my SSX game .. 60fps, the sounds r cool and very playable.
    I thought Tekken2 was good enuff.
    StarWarsNabboo Fighter was crappy.
    X-Squad is reasonable.
    DVD is very good,(read somewhere the quality was iffie, but it's not true!) and you can get the remote control from jungle.com for about £11 sterling.
    And cause I have a good collection of ps1 classics, it made sense to buy a PS2

    I just liked having one around christmas when they were like gold dust biggrin.gif

    Tekken Tag was the only title I considered, But Im not a big fan of the fighting game genre.

    Ill get Gran T.3 & That Star Trek Game, Shattered Universe when it comes out.
