PlayStation 2 Linux Kit Reduced To $99

Posted by simoniker on from the penguin-slashing dept.

SyniK writes "After buying a PS2 Network Adapter 2 days ago and trying some unofficial media players, turns out I'll be getting a second adapter because the PlayStation 2 Linux kit is now $99 - half of its former price. The kits, which include an internal 40 GB hard drive, a Network Adapter, a monitor cable, a USB keyboard and Linux on 2 DVD-ROMs, are now 'slightly limited edition' as they will not be replenished in the future."

  1. It comes with a mouse by servicepack158 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It comes with a USB mouse that connects to the keyboard also.

    I'm the sucker who bought it for $200 when i came out a long time ago.

    It's pretty cool, but the Ps2 only has 32MB ram so it sucks as a desktop. You could use it to check your emails on tv, but you would have to swap the video cable and the memory card (which acts as a boot disk) to play a game on it.

    I honestly haven't touched it since i got it, it provided a week of entertainment.
