¡§It is the unique combination of over 400 PlayStation 2 titles, many of them exclusive, compatibility with the 1,300 games available for the PS one, and a DVD player that you can use straight from the box, that has made PlayStation 2 such a clear winner.¡¨ said Chris Deering, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. ¡§The line-up of games for this Christmas is, without a doubt, our best ever. With titles such as GTA Vice City breaking all records, and our own ground-breaking blockbuster The Getaway receiving exceptional reviews, there are stunning games available in every genre and for every age group. With our online gaming service launching in the Spring, there has never been a better time to be a PlayStation gamer.¡¨
