I'll bet you $100 it's not. Deal?

Subway Edit: Ok, that's a deal! (Btw, this is just an edit, not a post.)

I think it was even mentioned in that Sony press conference stream with one of the power-point slides.

Prove it.

Anyway, Subway... do you have anything to add, or should I just selectively start removing your posts. I just posted something similar to your "announcement" yet you... bah.

On to the news... I wonder what's going to happen with this?

you guys are only supporting my industry crash theory.

Not really surprising when you see that they managed to make a PS2 incompatible with its own games

Apparently changing the casing from black to silver will do that to a console:D

This may seem inane but Will McBee is such a cool name, not least because it allows the possibility of calling oneself 'Bill McBee' -- who just has to be a character out of a children's story.

What story?

Oh snap, I probably opened myself up for a lot.

"You're..." Even after the recent competition, you still can't get that one right! ;)

He's special. Leave him be.

There has been rumors about the omission of the necessary chips to pull this off from being pulled from the CELL based machine - the PS2 has the original MIPS R3300a processor in there actually for PS1 playback.

Oh, and if you're still thinking I'm anti-Sony... I totally forgot. I'm the writer of the original Playstation FAQ way back in 1994.

Why, the story of Billy McBee and the dastardly honeypot, of course.
