If your last encounter with a video game involved your battered
ATARI and good ol' Donkey Kong, then Sony's PlayStation 2
is going to knock your socks off. Supporting audio CD and DVD-Video
formats, PlayStation 2 is the future of computer entertainment. The
new system supports existing PlayStation software while more than
270 additional titles are now in development. The DUALSHOCK 2
Controller lets you feel a piece of the action, while an expansion
unit makes future upgrades a snap. One caveat: Due to parts
shortages and its crazy popularity, PlayStation 2 will be in short
supply for months. The system is $299, with games starting at $49.
