Playstation2 Export Controls -- 10:19 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Japanese Government, showing the same calm and rational thinking as displayed in countless Godzilla movies, decided to slap export controls on the Playstation2 on the grounds that someone could use it to build a cruise missile or something. Seriously. Thanks Blue's News.

The Master comments: Oddly enough, the U.S. government recently raised their definition of "supercomputer" high enough to permit export/import of the Playstation 2. Guess the Japanese are still living in the early '80s.
