PLAYSTATION 2 INFO
The PlayStation2 will come with a Dual Shock 2 Analog Controller, a new 8MB Memory Card which transfers data 250 times faster than the current memory card, and a demo disc. Sony is also trying to have at least 12 titles available the day the system comes out. PS2 games will come in bigger game cases than Playstation, and will be color-coded based on the format.
