Smaller Playstation 2 Theorized

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the gross-conjecture-good-enough dept.

Tim Grube writes "According to Gaming Horizon and several other industry insiders, Sony will be celebrating their fourth-year anniversary of the Playstation 2 on October 26th by releasing a smaller, more compact version of the game system with the new name PStwo. Some analysts believe the PStwo will retail at $149.99, the current price of the Playstation 2."

    Ah.... of course, I just bought my new PS2 last month... the main reason I bought the PS2 was for San Andreas (I decided to buy early), so it's probably a smart idea to launch it at the same time as GTA. The PSTwo might sell a little bit... but it's not going to be huge is it?

    Does this mean the PS1 will finally disappear from our shelves?

    It's not like some engineers sat around drinking sake and thinking about how best to party down for the 4th anniverery of a product launch. It's more like some executives sat around drinking sake, thinking about how to milk a little more from an aging cash cow. Bah humbug!

    OT, but does anyone know a general rule to solve the equation n^n = x? For example, if n^n = 3125, how would you solve for n? (in this case, n=5)
