Febuary 22, 2000
Here is some more info on the PSX 2
* Dimensions: 301mm (W) x 178mm (H) x 78mm (D), (12" x 7" x 3").
* Weight: 2.1 kg (4 lbs. 10 oz.).
* Media: PlayStation2 CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and PlayStation CD-ROM, CD Audio
This means your PlayStation 2 will basically play all your old PlayStation games (but not make them look any better), all music CDs and all North American DVDs.
* Interfaces: Controller Port (2)
These are the same as the controller ports on the current PlayStation.
* Interfaces: Memory Card Slot (2)
These slots are very similar to the ones on the original PlayStation, except they support the new, faster transfer rate.
* Interfaces: AV Multi Cable Output (1)
This is where you plug the cord that goes to the back of your television.
* Interfaces: Optical Digital Output (1)
This port will let you send data directly to a digital receiver. This is perfect if you plan to plug your PlayStation into a DTS or Dolby receiver and get perfect sound.
If you don't use digital output, your data will be converted to an analog signal and then be converted back to digital at the receiver.
* Interfaces: USB Port (2)
USB enables you to connect any number of devices to your system with a high-speed data link.
* Interfaces: I.Link (IEEE1394) (1)
The IEEE139 port is known by two names: I.Link and for Mac owners, FireWire - there are some minor differences between the two. This high-data transfer port has the advantage of supplying (some) power to devices that are connected. You can expect that an enormous number of hardware devices will use this port including speakers, printers, and other like devices.
* Interfaces: Type III PCMCIA Card Slot.
This slot is a lot like a laptop's add-in slot. Here you will be able to plug in a modem and eventually the connection for Sony's planned broadband network and hard drive.
