Sony PS2 (SCPH-70000)

Juniper Foo | Sep 22, 2004

It's official. The PS2 has re-emerged, after an extreme makeover, looking babeliciously svelte at half its weight and a quarter its size. But unless you're a hardcore Sonyphile, the PS2 SCPH-70000 (which may be codenamed PStwo) suffers some fallout. Word is some software, including Final Fantasy XI, won't be compatible with the new unit. And gamers in Singapore won't be able to tap the new console's integrated network innards. Sony, in its rollout of the PS2 Online Network Gaming, seems to have missed out that little red dot on its world dominance map. Guess it's back to Xbox Live for those who want to game online.

Kitty Speaker

Juniper Foo | Sep 03, 2004

Spotted at a Kitty Ex exhibition now touring Japan--Hello Kitty speakers. You'll either love or hate them, but there's no avoiding Kitty overload as Sanrio's most popular export prepares to turn 30 on November 1. In fact, a brigade of over 100 eclectic artists, designers and musicians from Japan and overseas have been paying tribute to this ultimate playmate, prolifically exhibiting works relating to the mute but cute feline, including Kitty speakers by Barnstormers founder David Ellis. Hello Kitty banzai! (10,000 years of life!)
