I just filled this out myself.

Velly interesting...

Or maybe there is some truth to the rumour that future PS2 models won't offer DVD playback?

I nomitate this for the retarded ass post of the day.

Why? There is the possibility of an actual PSTwo coming out and not including the dvd movie playback. Doesn't Microsoft sell the DVD remote and dongle seperately because of the royalty that they have to pay to the DVD consortium? So when the PS3 comes out, why should the then possible PSTwo play back movies?

Newsflash. The revision already came out. DVD playback costs them almost nothing at this point as they're one of the consortium.

True, but this revision is not the PSTwo. They said it themselves.

Besides the point though, as I was being sarcastic in my initial post.

Hardly, considering that it has an integrated IR port.

Looks like potential "Blue-Ray" research to me.

Where on the site do I go to participate in this?

They should have emailed you if you are a registered PlayStation Underground member.

It's on an email to PSU members.

Absolutely, and I hope that enough people realize this and answer their poll accordingly. I want my PS3 to offer movie playback.

Ah ok :/

Yep... they'll likely use these numbers to boost confidence in PSP/UMD movies and PS3/BD movies. It's likely PR fodder.

Not likely. PR would require use of an outside agency to be part of any research as their are legal requirements for what you can claim with respect to surveys. That's why you've got all of those "independant surveys" being done.

I'm sure it's for internal use.

True, but this revision is not the PSTwo. They said it themselves.

Actually, no, they didn't. All they said was that the unit's name wouldn't be changing, so it will still stay as "PlayStation 2."

However, this is the PStwo revision. If you need proof, just look at the corner of the packaging: http://premium.uploadit.org/dsn2000/ps25.JPG

Well, not PR per say, but no doubt Kaz will be regurgitating these figures at next year's E3.

Well, would you look at that. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't seen it.

Here's a picture of the NA packaging.

 

[explodet]

The controller looks bigger than the unit o_o

Here's a picture of the NA packaging.

If a mod chip hits for that, I may get it. I just will use my old model when an online game hits that needs the HDD.

Also, I am wondering how pissed Squeenix is at this new model.
