You're telling me. I bet you would have an easier time cramming that into a car than the PS2

With my nearly broken ps2, and in need of a network adapter for the upcoming GT4, the retail price of 149€ sounds promising

Here are more specs:

Yeah, it looks pretty bad ass.

Not a bad price too w/ the network adaptor built in.

Excellent marketing move.

that little trick stopped working for me! LOL I plan on blowing it up.

Or to maybe steal some of Halo 2's thunder since it comes out a week after the PStwo.
