AOL Allies With Sony For PS2 Services

AEton writes "America Online has announced that it will merge some of AOL Instant Messenger's features with the Playstation 2. Through the 'AIM Talk' service which they plan to offer, any PS2 user with a headset will be capable of voice messaging with any other PS2 or PC user. AOL will also offer PS2 users streaming music and video clips and a new gaming AOL Players Club service. These services will require more hardware: a 40GB drive for the PS2 (new in the United States) will be required to use AOL's software when it is released in early 2004."
