 PlayStation 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sony has also made a PVR/DVD burning consumer device that plays PlayStation 2 games called the PSX.
For a more complete list of PS2 games see List of PlayStation 2 games.
It is a common misconception that disk swapping in a game (for example, for multi-disk games or expansion packs) is not possible on the PS2.

 PlayStation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This allows unauthorized copies of games to be played, but it also allows the playing of games from other regions, such as PAL titles on a NTSC console.
It was unique in that it was the only officially retailed Sony PlayStation with no regional lockout; it would play games from any territory.
Since modchips allow playing games recorded on a regular CD-ROM, it created a wave of games developed without official Sony approval, using free GNU compiler tools.

 PlayStation Portable :: SONY PSP
Sony, apparently, does not agree, and Deering claimed that the PSP strategy could be "synergistic and dynamically collaborative with Game Boy".
Sony, in a tone reminiscent of Nokia's views over the N-Gage, sees the PSP occupying an entirely different area of the mobile gaming space from the GBA.
Sony has clearly learned a lesson that Nintendo has not - portable games, for the most part, need to be priced as impulse purchases.

 Amazon.com: Computer & Video Games: Sony PSOne Console
PlayStation 1 is a success but its 2 flaws are bad graphics you can see the little squares on them and most of the games have long loading times.I still like PSX and its games but i will need to get a PS1 Memory card to save any of their games.
The Playstation 2 plays 99.9% of the games that the PS One does.
If the original PlayStation was the video game console equivalent of the '60s-era Volkswagen Beetle--economic, reliable, loads of fun--the PS One could be considered the new Beetle--a hip restyling of those same qualities.

 Linux for PlayStation 2 Community: Linux for PlayStation 2 FAQs
Sony does not support the use of one HDD for both PlayStation 2 games, and Linux, in any territory, and we are not aware of any plans to support this in the future.
A HDD with Linux (for PlayStation 2) installed cannot be used with these games.
No. You can still play PlayStation 2 Games by shutting down Linux, inserting the game disc and pressing reset, but you cannot start a commercial game playing from within Linux.

 Game Revolution - Playstation Emulator Download
You must have the Playstation game in the CD-ROM drive in order to play it.
However, they only play the games off of the Playstation CD's.

 Sony unveils PSP handheld gaming device - May. 11, 2004
Before the PlayStation, game machines skewed young, attracting children and early teens, but not doing much to attract adult gamers.
LOS ANGELES (CNN/Money) - Sony's entry in the handheld gaming space might be a bit delayed in the U.S., but when it arrives, it's going to have a tremendous amount of publisher support.
The PSP, which has roughly the same graphical quality as the PS2, is being targeted at an older audience than other handheld gaming machines, with Sony particularly eyeing 18-34 year old males.

 Bjorn3d.com -Sony PlayStation Portable, Satisfying Your Daily Tech Cravings Since 1996
Sony chooses to go a more traditional way that Nintendo and its DS.
When the Sony PSP was released in Japan December 2004 I promptly imported one (and paid through the nose for it) and this review is based on 3 months of gaming on this unit.
The US version will be the same, possibly without some of the smaller glitches that the Japanese PSP has.

 BBC NEWS Technology Sony shrinks PlayStation console
The best-selling PlayStation 2 games console has been given a makeover, with a new slimmed-down, lightweight model due to go on sale in November.
It has not said when the new games machine will go on sale, but the PS2 went on sale in Japan almost a year after it was first unveiled.
But the internal volume has been reduced by 75%, meaning it is half the weight and less than half the thickness of the existing console.

 Playstation 3 News - Sony Playstation3 (PS3)
Rumors are making rounds that the PS3 will be sold in two versions, one that is the do-all Playstation 3 version with all the bells and whistles (perhaps including laying golden eggs as well?) and one that is, yikes(!), just a pure video game console.
No word yet on whether the PS3 release will be staggered or simultaneous worldwide, but Sony looks set to continue its dominance of the Japanese market: a recent survey revealed that 72.3% of current-generation Japanese console owners said they would be buying the PS3 when it comes out.
PC gamers looking to make the shift to console gaming will no doubt welcome Sony's move to support keyboard and mouse gameplay.

 GamerFeed : News : Sony : Online Gaming Hurting Television
Sony says that more people in the 18-34 age group are turning to online gaming during primetime TV viewing hours...
Already more than 10 percent of this staggering installed base is online, beating initial platform lifetime projections for online gaming in less than nine months.
"When people go looking for their favorite entertainment, some are turning to online gaming with PlayStation 2 instead of tuning into broadcast television," said Andrew House, executive vice president, Sony Computer Entertainment America.

 SONY PSP Handheld News
Importers, err, Exporters like Lik-Sang have devised world-dominating strategies of placing harmful handheld gaming consoles on every continent, then with the push of one button, making each of the millions of units explode at once, causing the Earth to blow into a million pieces and make way for the Intergalactic Highway.
Hong Kong, August 8, 2005 - Lik-Sang.com, leading online retailer for videogame systems, games and cutting-edge gaming gear, was today informed that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc commenced legal actions against Lik-Sang.com in the High Court of Hong Kong for selling PSP consoles.

 Sony Playstation Portable PSP Omegapost : Gizmodo
Sony sells a program to convert and transfer movies and pictures, but it’s only for sale on the Japanese site, and it doesn’t deal with music or game saves.
Taking advantage of the PSP’s ability to play movies or music or view pictures off of the Memory Stick isn’t quite as easy, though.

The screen has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, making it ideal for watching movies as well as playing games, with a resolution of 480 x 272 and a full 24-bit colour depth.
But let's remember that being the new kid on the block didn't stop the original PlayStation from redefining video games.
The launch games on the PS2 were nothing special, and the Dreamcast had better software available at the time.

 Sony Playstation (History, Specs, Pictures)
The Playstation was released in 1994 and enjoyed great success, mainly because of the company's strong financial back enabling it to market the PS widely and its ability to get hundreds of developers to license games for the console.
After Nintendo realized that Sony had a cleverly-worded agreement that allowed them to license all SNES CD-based games, the two companies abandoned the deal.
They got together with Sony, which eventually came up with the Playstation: A CD-ROM extension that sat beneath the SNES console and allowed 680MB CD games to be played.

The Sony takeover of the Psygnosis company led to the development of a new Formula 1 game and the company formed relationships with a variety of teams and in 1998 became a major sponsor of Prost Grand Prix.
The company had previously been involved in video games in alliance with Nintendo but in 1991 Nintendo allied with Sony rival Philips and so Sony decided to go it alone and began developing its own software and acquiring software companies.
In the first month on sale Sony sold 300,000 Play Stations in Japan and a new international brand was launched.
