yep, most places are selling for $199 bundled with GT4 and headphones, and carry case. without the combo it will be $149.99 but as of now only the budled set will be available for a while
I'm on the pre-order list, so I gets mine as soon as they come in

are you talking about the same thing? i dont think that gt4 is actually guaranteed for it yet, or maybe thats one reason why they took so long to release the game...

another good link with all of the specs: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1639233,00.asp
it will use wifi and will have usb 2.0 for uploads to the memory stick of music or mpegs and maybe jpegs. it would be nice if there was a web browser on it since its already on wifi

Anyone else heard about the deal where the square button doesn't work correctly on them? That'd be an easy fault to correct, until one of Sony's reps said it was designed that way and gamers and game makers would just "Have to get used to it." True stuff, google it if you want to see it for yourself.

Yeah, I remember an article about that. The button is located too close to the screen and it causes problems. I think it has something to do with them not being able to place the button directly above the electronic button that it is supposed to be pusing... if that made sense... it was a terrible explanation, sorry. Anyhow, I remember that there was a spokesman who said it was designed this way on purpose and that people would just have to get used to it (summary). Something about them having no plans on making changes to the item to fix it was said, too. That's really lame. But given the numerous different models of PS2 (there's a ton of generations), it seems likely that Sony will fix the problem in the future, despite what the spokesman said.
