Link gone bad.

Back in the day people would have been jumping all over this one. I cant even count how many times we\'ve had discussions and debates on ps2 and tapping its "True Power."

They were good times then but now its just not the same.

I would be interested to see what games would look like at full potential though. Even if they were identical to ps2 graphics, the size of the screen would probably make it look incredibly sharp.

The thing about PS2 is that developers get to a point of diminishing returns.  Is there untapped power there? Yes.  Is it worth it to spend extra time and resources trying to harness it?  The answer I\'ve more commonly read is no.

The PSP is not running anywhere near what it\'s capable of, and I doubt we\'ll see it\'s full power for several years.  Or at least until Sony releases a longer battery life solution.  In the mean time, it\'s still very impressive.

Hmm interesting.

If games are looking as good as Wipeout today, the next batch will be PS2 quality.. :)
