new ps2 model revealed & ds launch details
sony has officially announced a re=designed ps2 unit. its about 30% smaller and includes a built-in ethernet and modem connection for online games. no official pricing yet for the US but a november 1 release date for the US has been confirmed. pictures and the press release have been posted by lik-sang.
on the ds front, lots to report as nintendo has announced a launch date of 11/21 in the US with a $149.99 price point. the most interesting news is the confirmation that the system will launch in the US before it is released in japan...here is a quote from ign:
"Nintendo chose the United States to lead the worldwide launch of Nintendo DS because of overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic reaction from consumers and to take advantage of the holiday sales season. After the subsequent launch in Japan, the system will be available in Europe and Australia in the first quarter of 2005."
