Here you go:

yah thats the package, it will retail for 250 dollars. go to the link to get more info.

250? Damn, that\'s gonna sell real well.  At least they are going to have a separate ethernet adapter so I don\'t have to buy the HDD.  Also, what is the Linux software for?  I thought Sony was using PlanetWeb for the browser.

$200-$250!!!!! whoa, they are going to have to do a lot better than that if they want to be able to have it go mainstream.  I don\'t know of to many people that will shell out that kind of $$$$ for it, as mentioned in previous posts by others.  Sony better make it sweet and cheap if they want a large user base.

read the above. 250 dollars is the proposed retail price for the PACKAGE. for 250 dollars u get everything, the 40 gig hdd, the ethernet adapter, the keyboard, mouse, vga adaper, the works. Thats a damn good deal considering most 40 gig hd\'s retail for near 200 bucks alone. If you dont want to shell out that much then u can buy individual parts.

$250? Ha! While that may be a good deal, it is still goin\' to be a ***** to sell to the average consumer. You know, the one who doesn\'t realize how much a 40gig HD costs already.

Not to mention, they are goin\' to need some real compelling reasons to buy all this stuff.

Ah, hopefully Sony will make some huge grand announcement concerning the HDD / Ethernet / combo come E3.

And gee.. Linux, who would of guessed?

add-ons=failures
add-ons that cost over $200=major failures

I\'m just ginving you guys a history update...

I know that the package price/for what you get is good but in the past add-ons that have been this expensive have not survived.  I know that you can get a 40GB HD 160-170 at non video game stores (where they rip you off).  Anyway didn\'t mean to sound as if Sony was ripping people off.  It\'s just getting more expensive than upgrading my computer.

$200 for a 40gig HDD?  Yeah right!  You can get an 80gig for ~$200.  The cheapest 5400rpm 40gig on pricewatch is $93 and I doubt the PS2 HDD is a 7200rpm.  If you would pay that much for something that won\'t even be used that much then you\'re crazy!

40gig hdd-$93
Mouse-$10
KB-$10
Ethernet Adapter-$10

PS2 package=rip off

They could have used BeIA instead of Linux,since their already using that in their eVilla line of computers.And that OS is designed for internet appliences.

I thought I would never say this, but damnit Sony has lost their damn minds.  Thats almost as much as the system, and I know I won\'t be buying that bundle.  Sony might as well not even sell it, the "average" consumer won\'t buy it.  And every game won\'t take advantage of it as everyone won\'t have certain componets (HD) that developers can use to enhance games.  I know its a sad day when I\'m looking to buy an X-Box.

I didn\'t use pricewatch in my price comparison because some of those retailers sell below cost or sell refurb Items. (although I have never had any problems with any retailers form there yet.)

You know what???

All you all, including psera are completely off base. This is NOT the "online" ps2 package .

This is a Linux programming package......A TOTALLY different animal!!!

Actually, that makes more sense (the LINUX programming package).

Hopefully, Sony will clear the confusion up soon. Because, if it is the ONLINE package--there is no way it can be succesful, but if it is the Linux package, then it doesn\'t really matter to the general consumer at all.
