Computer Entertainment System Launch Details Unveiled at E3
In order to lead the broadband era, without changing the
aesthetic design or basic dimensions of the console itself, the PlayStation 2
incorporates a bay for 3.5" hard disc drive and an expansion unit for
interfacing with the network for future functionality upgrades. Together with
the USB and i.LINK (IEEE1394) interfaces, the PS2 is ready to expand
into the home network.
In addition, the PlayStation 2
features DVD-Video playback built into the hardware as standard, without the
use of a Memory Card. The features and functionality of the DVD player can also
be enhanced in the future via firmware upgrade, simply by loading a new program
from upgrade discs. This firmware upgrade feature also enables
this computer entertainment system to evolve into future digital consumer
applications – another powerful feature of Playstation2.
"To date 1.8 million
units have been sold in Japan. The overwhelming success of the product launch
proves that the market is ready for Playstation 2™, as we chart a path toward
the future of networked digital entertainment," said Ken Kutaragi,
president and chief executive officer, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
"Now the time has come to introduce the new PS 2 computer
entertainment system to the North American market. Just as PlayStation™ brought
interactive gaming to unprecedented mass market levels, Playstation2 will open
the doors to a new world of computer entertainment experience in the home,
bringing together games, music and movies."
