New PlayStation 2 Chip
Iron Chef Japan writes "Sony has announced that they have fit the PlayStation 2 Emotion Engine, and the Graphics Synthesizer on to a single chip using a 0.13-micron process. This will allow Sony to make three times more PlayStation 2's annually, so it's all for the better."
Get a life, I too download a shit load of mp3's but usually end up buying the cd anyway. Plus why are they idiots if they are trying to protect their property?
I think that sony spent too much time hyping and marketing the chipset as opposed to actually spending time designing the chipset
I say this for two reasons:
First, one should look at Sony's competing rival Nintendo: I have no idea if the gamecube is better than the PS2 tech wise, however what I can say is nintendo seems to be doing fine on the gamecube's technology without having to deal with the lunacies of the PS2's chipset. Enouogh said.
Secondly, aren't we trying to make chips smaller to begin with?
Had sony thought this chip out a bit more carefully, I wholefully believe that sony wouldn't be in the current situation as they are in right now.
Don't get me wrong, sony is a very smart company and they always know what they are doing, however the actions behind the PS2's chipsets make less sense to anyone. Only now does it seem like sony is trying to fix up the problems inherent with such a large chipset as the EE turned out to be.
Just my two cents, all taxes included
