i know official memory cards, joypads, multi tap and a steering wheel is being released, the steering wheel should b great because u feel the wheel getting looser at high speeds and tighter on bends. theres a roumer of a gun coming out next year and a remote control for the dvd player to make all u'r extras availiable on it. and the little stand, what else is there?
o, i totally forgot, what was the little bob next to PS2. i saw it in a magazine. PS2 was standing up and a little box was next to it it was roughly the same thickness and about a thrid of the height, can someone remind me of what it was??

You will be able to use just about any USB device -BUT ONLY- if the company has written the software drivers for that device to run on PS2 which im sure they will as then they can make more money from a whole new sales market

One of the coolest periferals i have seen so far is a Total Emersian Headset from a company called Eye Trek.
if you do a search on the web you will find their web site
i have also seen a device that is in development for PS2 that will be a speach recognition head set by Taito and a web camera that can clip on to your controler. check out core magazines web site

From what I've heard you can use ANY USB mouse or keyboard on the PS2.Unreal tournamet is compatible with both.

Apparently it will be a hard drive with broadband modem add-on, and it should be available late next year. Maybe to coincide with the release of the X-Box but i am not sure.

At the moment, just the basics, as far as I know.

Cables, controllers, memory cards, stands, multi-tap, etc.

There will at some point be the modem (both third-party and official), and I'm hoping that - eventually - there will be a mouse, keyboard (for the net, whan available).

Oh, there will also be a colour printer (oddly called "Popegg" !!!) and Sony are also releasing a version of one of their Cyber Shot digital cameras which is compatible with the machine.

With two USB ports and an i-Link port, any number of add-ons could be forthcoming.

Yep, it is. But only the Japanese will have this; the US/UK/Euro unit is internal.
