PStwo next month???

The rumors have been flying high for some time now, reaching new heights with word (via industry analysts & retailers) of a PStwo release coinciding with GTA San Andreas, perhaps an attempt to sour Microsoft's Halo 2 launch. Similar to the PSone, the PStwo would be a slimmed down version—by roughly 30%—of the (existing) PlayStation 2, and would allegedly have a built-in broadband adapter. Apparently the unit will still retail for $150, but perhaps it could be lower—probably not before the PS3 debut. There has been no official announcement from Sony of course, but the company has secured a copyright. Still, an October release seems unlikely, but you can keep your fingers crossed.
