Playstation II
Let’s just say “Wow”
The Playstation II is an astounding little box. Sony has done an amazing job on this game station. Becuase of the design and features, this box appeals to more people than just gamers. At 375 dollars it is the cheapest product that will play DVD movies right out of the box. This is Playstation II’s ace in the hole. People who want a cheap DVD player can just buy this little wonder. They wouldn’t need to bother with games if they didn’t want to. But, of course, the Playstation II is designed with the gamer in mind. It runs three times faster than a Pentium III processor and is specialized for generating 3D graphics. A simple comparison of bit power makes the newest Playstation superior to anything on the market. Nintendo started out with 8 bit and has worked up to its current 64 bit. The Playstation II has a 128 bit capability; not bad. In addition to all of this, there is room for expansion on the unit itself. In fact, a module that will enable high-speed Internet connection and add a hard drive on to the base unit is coming in about a year. At this rate, why even buy a computer?
