I just read a very interesting article about the PS2 expansion port. We all know that this is for the 20GB HDD and modem, however it will also include the Emotion Engine 2, which will turn your PS2 in to a 256 bit super console. Hear is what the report said:
"You have obviously heard about the HDD - well that's only half of it. The hole in the back of the PS2 has a connection above it, and this new super box being released next October will slide in the hole and have a short wire to that plug.
This box, and this is where it gets good, contains a 20GB HDD and, this is the good part, a little bit of top secret kit called the EEII, or in terms, the Emotion Engine 2.
This bit of kit transforms the PS2 to a 256 bit super console. The Jap version is already complete and going through testing. Our job was to make it fit the UK and Europe models.
Third party developers haven't worked on the new kit yet but one. Sony have made a getaway demo using it, I’ve seen it, its super fast. The getaway 2 and SSX 2 are going to use the new kit. I think you will find this very interesting.
Oh, and 120fps has been clocked in the last week."
This report is from a sony insider, is it true? you decide.

Hang on.
We are supposed to believe that the PS2 can just be a dual processored console "when it wants to"?
And connected by a cable too?
Humm. Right.
