It's looking about £200 at the mo, but you get the linux disc, a mouse, keyboard and hdd.
Seeing as the hdd alone looks like £100, it's a bargain.

if you had the hard drive pack for the PS2 then once you have linux on it then you should be able to use a wide veriety of linux based programes of which there are getting more and more
all the way from games to word procesors
hey mabee some people would just end up using their PS2 as a pc instead of shelling heaps more for a proper one
i'm not saying it would be able to do everything a pc could but it is a thought to consider
mabee this is part of sony's idea of a all-in-one machine finally becoming a reality
and just to start a nasty rumor maybee the windows CE (console edition) would work on the PS2
yea right!! LOL

I'll be getting the PS2 Linux kit. I'm doing a Computer Games Technology degree, and this thing would be excellent for my studies.
Is anyone getting this linux, If third party developers are having trouble programing the PS2 then what chance do we have?
stick with YAbasic ;-)

Much like the Yaroze PSX's... black playstations that you could program... cost £400.
