PlayStation 2 is a revolutionary computer entertainment system set to reinvent the nature of video games. Incorporation both CD and DVD formats, PlayStation 2 has been designed to offer you a range of computer entertainment options combining games, video and music. Not only is it be supported by numerous high quality software titles with hundreds more in development, it is the first machine of it's kind to offer backwards compatibility. So, you can use your existing PlayStation software on the new system.As well as games, PlayStation 2 also offers both CD and DVD formats. The fusion of interactive entertainment with music and video will open the doors to new entertainment experiences in the home.

PlayStation 2 delivers a new dimension to your gaming experience. You will not only be able to play your original PlayStation software on the system, but you will be able to enjoy the enhanced graphics of a range of new games developed specifically for PlayStation 2. The inclusion of Dolby Digital, AC-3 and DTS capabilities allow you to experience staggeringly real sound effects and mood defining music that will deliver a truly emotional experience.

It is the "Emotion Engine" at the heart of PlayStation2 that enables you to cross the line into a new universe of digital interactivity. The "Emotion Engine" is a 128 Bit CPU that takes 3D graphics into another sphere - gravity, friction and emotive materials from fire to snow are stunningly and realistically recreated on-screen. This "Emotion Synthesis" produces completely accurate physical simulations, elevating gameplay to a higher level. The "Emotion Engine" simultaneously processes high-resolution 3D graphics at the same time as high quality DVD images, resulting in superior real-time graphics and sound quality.

The Future of PS2

USB and i-LINK technology have been incorporated into the PlayStation 2 design along with an expansion bay for a hard disc drive/network interface. This anticipates a future of digital interconnectivity where networking will play a key role. PlayStation 2 will revolutionize home entertainment by evolving into a home network terminal for the electronic distribution (e-distribution) of digital content. As well as broadband receipt of entertainment content, the HDD will be able to store content downloaded from mobile phones.

Developers are already looking at ways to deliver applications through connection to computer and AV technology - digital cameras, microphones and printers - so you can look forward to experiencing even greater interactive entertainment in the future.

    Playstation 2 is an awesome addition to any household, the fact that it comes with a SONY DVD player makes it worth having. The graphics are at most times UNBELIEVABLE. Yes, XBox may have the technology for better graphics, but it's almost insignific...ant when you consider the quality of the games that Playstation has. If you waste time comparing the graphics you are over thinking. Xbox makes you pay extra for DVD and Sony already has better games. XBox may have some exclusives but rumor has it that Playstation will eventually have those games anyway. Even though Gamecube's software is written on DVD's, Cube doesnt play movie DVD's but i would still buy that before XBox because the games are better. It all comes down to games. MY choice is PS2.
