Further Playstation 2 DVD Woes

According to the Daily Radar, SCEI has been forced to recall the software on the utilities and drivers disc of 1.25 million Playstation 2 units. By April 1st, PS2 owners are to have returned the software at Seven-Eleven, and in the interests of good taste, pick up a Slurpee.

The cost of handling this software recall may run Sony a cool million, but that is nothing compared to the financial damage a hardware recall could have inflicted. Having dodged possible litigation with this move, Sony is still responsible for the enabling of DVD recording via the PS2's RPG output port as reported earlier by The Register.
