The true black LCD monitor that is in development is part of Sony\'s plan to make the PS2 more than just a gaming/entertainment machine. Basically, once we get there, with online gaming, a modem (you choose your speed flavor), a 40G harddrive, two USB ports (for mouse & keyboard) -- not to mention adding a Hub to same for sweet daisy-chaining, the aforementioned monitor, and (of course) your CD/DVD compatible PS2, you now have a kick-@$$ entertainment system that is ready to move sternly into PC territory...
Face it, Sony has ambitions that (it could be argued) rival Microsoft\'s... Good luck, Bill; this could easily prove to be Godzilla fighting Goliath
