exactly they can only use the old version of the PS2, this actually caused a big tissy with SE and Sony since SE got really pissed off at Sony for doing this without notice.

Interestingly enough, Sony is now working with SE to make something they will allow you to play FFXI on the new PS2.

regardless of which this had to be the worst April Fools joke yet. Slashdot really is sucking wind this year.
