Most interesting is that this device promises Playstation 2 level graphics, a compact 1.8GB media, Wireless 802.11, USB 2.0, 7.1 channel Audio, and a 24bit 16x9 screen TFT LCD screen. Sony has called this device the 'Walkman for the 21st Century', and plans to allow the user to enjoy movies and music for the device, along with games. Full specs can be found at ZDNet Japan.

    So Sony say there new hand held console will have Playstation 2 level graphics?

    Well after what they said about the Playstation 2 itself and its "Toy Story" graphics I would have to see it to believe it.

    Completely ignoring the fact that with broadband, you're typically 30ms minimum from your nearest neighbor, and good gaming requires a guarantee of 16ms max.

    You are just purely on crack. I think you mean 160ms for gaming. How do you think that the network adapter works for gaming? Well, over the inter-fucking-net. Not over some magical 16ms ether.

    They're a bunch of liars. Fool me once, shame on me. Except they didn't fool anyone the first time.

    I think your problem is that you are an idiot that doesn't know what you are talking about. Not them making empty promises. Sony actually makes good electronic components for consumers.
