I guess they are gonna make it be able to record TV shows or live broadcasts, and store on hard drives, or burn on cd.. and also tons of other shit.

"Sony has been trying to transform PlayStation 2, which has sold 40 million units globally, into a home entertainment hub allowing users to shop online and store music or movies.

The new product enabling TV programmes to be stored on a hard disk could give Sony an edge over its rival Microsoft Corp., which is also eyeing the home entertainment business as an untapped source of revenue.

Fukunaga said Sony Computer Entertainment may offer tuner kits that would contain hardware to receive broadcasting signals, hard disks and software to run recording devices.

Sony may also roll out a new PlayStation 2 that has a built-in tuner and other necessary functions.

The upgrade will likely be first introduced in Japan"

Looks like Sony's got alot planned for the PS2.. lets hope it doesn't all flop like that stupid Dreamcast system.
