Post by: System on May 17, 2001, 01:59:47 AM

In the last week, Sony has announced several deals in the last few days (some at E3 in Los Angeles) that will make the Playstation 2 console a home "convergence" device, and a worthy competitor to the PC, to boot.

Will PS2 be a competitor for the AmigaDE, or will it simply be another platform for Amiga software?
