PlayStation 2 to become Memory Stick compatible
Is that a photo of your girlfriend or your GT3 save? Only deletion will tell…
At its Memory Stick press event held in Tokyo yesterday, Shinichi Okamoto, Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment announced that the PlayStation 2 will soon become Memory Stick compatible. “We are trying to make PlayStation 2 fit in digitalised consumer electronics products…we will take steps for that this year,” he said.
The Memory Stick is a generic storage medium that is commonly used in cameras, voice recorders and portable computers, though its wider application has long been touted by Sony.
Accordingly, the PlayStation 2 will use Memory Sticks via a special port that fits into the Memory Card slots on the front of the PlayStation 2. The cards range between 4MB and 128MB in size and will be able to hold a little more than just game data.
It is likely that Sony’s plans on expanding the application of the PlayStation 2 hardware centre around the Memory Stick. Coupled together with broadband Internet access, a hefty hard drive and a bunch of Sony gadgets, Sony will effectively be able to offer a full multimedia suite to PlayStation 2 owners.
