Sony reference dictionary
PS2 Toy Story graphics
--> PS1 enhanced graphics
1.8GB media
--> in option (default: 16 Ko)
Wireless 802.11, USB 2.0
--> when connected to the handheld port replicator base (if the option has been bought)
7.1 channel Audio
--> When at home with a 7.1 Kit (the cables will be incompatible with other brands so you will have to buy the Sony 7.1 Handheld Kit®, um any1 has experienced it with Vaios for external devices ?).
--> or you can buy our new Roswell haedphone kit with subwoofer integrated.
24bit 16x9 screen TFT LCD screen
--> TFT screen with a maximum resolution of 640x400 but every game will use 320 x 200 (well Playstaion 2 level graphics ?)

Of course they do.
Nintendo really knows what the market hungers for.
It's called "Virtual Boy".

Of course it has Toy Story graphics.
What they didn't tell you was that you had to have Toy Story on DVD to get said graphics....

1. It hooks up to the TV and surround speakers
2. It plays standard DVD's
3. Stores and plays MP3's
4. Allows file sharing trough that wireless LAN
5. Has > 1GB storage space
6. Acts like a portable hard drive when plugged into USB
7. It plays PS and PS2 games with no need to buy them in new format
Other nice stuff would be a learning remote control, cell phone, organizer, calendar, calculator, digital camera, fax, dialup, flashlight and a stun gun but I think that they'd have to come up with an extra button for that...
(rrrring, rrrring Heloooooooouch!!

Tell that to every PSX owner who has to put their systems upside-down and then pray to get their game to work. Or the countless people (myself included) who's PS2s refuse to read any discs.
Yeah, their systems are great, until they stop working. I trust this company to make a quality portable system as much as I'd trust R Kelly with my 12 year old daughter.
