Recently, IGN got a hands-on look at Sony's little system. While it took some time to get over the initial shock of the size of the machine—1"x9"x6"(!)—other design changes began to become noticeable. Nothing new here, but the staff definitely noted the new top-loading disc feature, the addition of Ethernet and dial-up ports (thanks to internal network adapter), the loss of the HDD support, an external AC adapter, and the inability to use multitaps (the new placement of the controller ports renders the peripherals useless). Also, if you're a fan of the Logitech Cordless Action Controller, you'll find that the receiver ends up propping the PStwo. All hardware changes aside, the software looks to be running as smoothly as ever, and more quietly too! As an added bonus Sony has thrown in a full one-year warranty just in case you loose the system in a stack of games.
