@nixCraft I remember that some government agency wanted to put export restrictions on the PS2 early-on because of it's potential for use in missile guidance systems.

@nixCraft Anyone got a link to a good write-up? Although I had a PS2, I never believed any of this Emotion Engine super computer nonsense. Just felt like marketing fluff to nail the coffin lid shut on the Dreamcast.

@nixCraft interesting. I knew they did that with the ps3, but wasn't aware of the PS2 being used also.

@nixCraft In before someone “uhm Aksually it was the air force and they were PS3s” despite the picture clearly being not an airbase and clearly being PS2s and we’re talking about a completely different cluster here
