The Sony PlayStation 2 is a sophisticated gaming platform with a laundry list of noteworthy components, including a 300-MHz, 128-bit Emotion Engine CPU; 32MB of Rambus DRAM on a 3.2-GBps memory bus; a FireWire port; two USB ports; and support for DVD video playback. You'll also find a wealth of games. One weakness is the system's support for just two controllers. To play DVDs, the Pelican DVD Controller remote control ($14.95 direct) is a must.
