Generation Gap

Dear Future Gamer

So when the PSX2 comes out we'll all be networked and buying our games, music and videos from the net with glorious high-bandwidth download times, but once we buy these titles, where are they stored? On a memory stick? How much will they cost and how much will the actual download and telephone time cost?

Will this high-bandwidth service be free? The current rumoured price of ADSL is £60 a month, and I don't think Sony will be paying that for us. Will I have to have a Sony TV or video or stereo to watch or listen to all this downloaded media? Next year I think the PSX2 will be used for what the current PSX is used for - playing games.

FG: It's a fair point, David - these new super consoles might be able to do all manner of wonderful things, but let's not lose sight of the fact that we're buying them because we want to play games on them.
