PlayStation 2 redesigned (PStwo)

Already been named the ‘PStwo’, as predicted last week by reports – as well
as some of the media receiving ‘mystery invites’ by Sony – a redesigned
PlayStation 2 is to be revealed this morning.

With the compulsory female models to get mainstream media notice, Sony Computer
Entertainment Ireland (SCE IE) is to host the local launch of the redesigned
device later this morning in Dublin.

The reworked console is smaller and has a built-in broadband adapter. It is set
for retailer’s shelves in
Ireland in November.

Sony was also kind enough to remind us at 32%, and over 450,000
units, Ireland has the highest penetration of PS2s outside of Japan.
With the new GTA game, San Andreas, and the Christmas season looming it
is
expected the redesign will push sales even further.

Although a price drop was speculated last week, at this early hour of the
morning none has been official confirmed — we’ll post images and any another
details as soon as we can.
