New PS2?

OK, so does anyone know whats the deal with this new PS2 coming out? It's smaller, but also cheaper. What are the differences from the old one?

From what i can gather there, the new ps2 is about the size of a hard cover book and it ships with a build in ehternet adapter. Other than that, I don't see any different.

Handheld and multi players

From what I understand, the new skinnier version of the system doesn't support the multi-tap hook-up for 4 player options. I don't understand why they would drop that ability if it turns out to be true.

I have also noticed that Sony plans to jump into the handheld gaming console market. It would be nice to see a company finally rival Nintendo's monopoly in handhelds after both Sega and Atari failed to deliver. Considering Sony outsells the competition, maybe the company actually has a shot. Either way, here is some information about the product put out by Sony:

Re: New PS2?

not only is Sony releasing a new handheld, but so is Nintendo. yes, those are two screens. the bottom one will be a touch/stylus screen, and the whole thing folds up like a Game Boy Advance SP.
