Why didn\'t they build the memory card into the PS2 instead of making you buy it as an add-on? I know it\'s supposed to enable you to transfer your cars and characters to other people\'s machines, but honestly, how many of you do this?
They should have included a second controller with the console too, but at least there\'s a reason there: The controller is big and probably more costly to manufacture. It would have made the packaging larger, and it would have been harder to bury the cost in the overall PS2 price. I\'m sure the memory cards are embarrasingly cheap to manufacture. I\'ll bet they\'re making a huge profit on those.
