PlayStation2®

These are the specs as they appear on the sony web site. These are also noted on the site that these specs are for the Japanese version released March 4, 2000. I say this because certain things could have been changed for the U.S. and European release, both due on October 26, 2000. However, I was in Planet X, a store near where I live and the specs that the store had posted were pretty much the same.
