PS2 hardware upgrade SCPH-50000 available in the U.K.cd-rw.org @ Oct 01, 2003 14:35 | 4 comments
DVD playback quality has been improved. The SCPH-50000 features surround sound decoder and purchasing of an additional remote controller is no longer required in order to access all of the DVD playback features. The FireWire connection has been stripped from the latest revision though. This is due to the fact that it was hardly at all used by game developers for multiplayer functionality.A tiny new detail is that the PS2 is now also available in ‘satin silver’ casing.
The SCHP-50000 is available in the U.K. during this week and the price has been shaved down to just £139.99

Sony upgrades the hardware and cuts the price. The improved DVD playback is the highlight of this hardware update, but the FireWire connectivity is gone.

Was it worth spending all that time on that?" Do not despair, no one has wasted their life. After all, you can only waste something if you throw it away. And you can't throw life away.
