Like I said, it might be a rumor. It was in the February 10th News section on
Animenation, and was reported by a Japanese Newspaper. Apparently, some PSX
games are programmed to work directly with the PSX hardware.

The drive is built in, but a card that is shipped with the system must be in to
play DVDs (That's what it sounds like to me). Also, I assume the controller
can control the DVDs, but the remote will probably be more of a standard
VCR/DVD remote.

I like EB's way of doing it. There is a minimum $10 downpayment (like I said,
it can be added to), and they let you know as soon as it comes in. As long as
you have the preorder, you can get one whenever. :) For the past year or so,
I've been first to pick up every game I wanted, because I get there right as
the shipment comes in. ;)
