Some news about PS2 from E3

"It's official: PlayStation 2 will hit US store shelves on October 26..." "Sony says the system will cost $299, and like its Japanese counterpart, the US version of PlayStation 2 will support CD and DVD game formats..." :

It's wonderful. I can't wait. Here, at Babbages we could put $10 towards one to make sure we get it. It's great that they thought enough to make it also play Playstation 1 games.

There's a store right down from Penn Station (NYC) where I could buy it now if I wanted to pay $324 for it. They have a few games already too.

i can't wait for this to come out and i'm happy that it will work with the original games (being that we have 40,000 of them at home here that i still haven't even gotten the chance to play yet).

wish the price would come down a bit though - ouch ...

My understanding, though, is that it's well worth the price and that the game prices will be about the same as the P1 game prices.
