- ZDNet |UK| - News - Story - PlayStation2 gets DVD upgrade | After the success of the restyled PSone (released some months before the PS2) , Sony are re-releasing their highy successful PS2 with new features including better DVD-R /DVD+RW suport, quieter fan and no more IEEE1394 /Firewire Sockets . Here's hoping they remodel the unit too as it's never struck me as the height of simple and effective consumer design, built in ethernet /802.11b wouldn't go astray neither. |

The study followed almost 2,000 men initially aged 45-59 in Wales over a period of 10 years. "Light" exercise was defined as walking, bowling or sailing, golf or dancing was called "moderate", and to qualify as a heavy exerciser, and thus aid your heart, |
