1999: EA releases Sled Storm for PS in the US. It's a racing game on snowmobiles in which you need to win money to upgrade your tech. Just add a carrot nose and a stovetop hat and you've got one pimp ride.

2001: Capcom releases Devil May Cry for PS2 in the US. Originally the game was meant to be Resident Evil 4, but it played too differently (something about unlimited ammo doesn't scream survival horror). Does the devil ever actually cry? "Are you...crying over there?" "Who, me? Or him?" "You." "You as in me?" "Yes you, evil incarnate." "Well, the other guy's a mime who sells Avon products." "Ok, you got me there."

2004: Sony announces plans to use PS2 chips in their flat-panel televisions. The upgrade should allow for faster overall navigation through increased graphics horsepower. Anyone out there know what models actually are using the chip, if any?
