You really need to look at the games list. It isnt at all past playstation games, and offers not only a bunch of brand new games, but also the ability to play mp3s, and it even supports UMD movies.

Sony isnt proclaiming the new PS2 to be a new system. Things like that are for people who didnt buy the system to begin with, or who need a new one in general.
