Apparently it's old news to most of you, but Sony made the official announcement earlier today during a Tokyo press conference. The new PlayStation 2 will be 1/4 the size and 1/2 the weight of the original and features a built-in network adapter (including an analogue connection in the US/European version). Unfortunately, the new model won't have hard drive support, rendering some software incompatible. It will ship November 1 in the US and Europe—followed by a Japanese release two days later—with the current PS2 price tag. Oh, and another thing, it's not being called the PStwo. Nope, we're to refer to the new model as the SCPH-70000(CB). Excited, aren't you?
