Expect big news from the people that sell us stuff as the holiday season approaches. Sony has captured my attention by developing a redesigned and slimmer PS2. It weighs 32 ounces, half as much as the original, is incredibly thin, and also shorter. Discs will top-load instead of by tray, and the network adapter hardware will be inside. It will not support the much-delayed hard drive. Nintendo and Microsoft, consider your asses kicked…in the battle to take up the least space in the consumer’s living room.
