LETTER TO SONY

(And a physical letter, too. God forbid they should have an eddress to complain to.)

Dear Dan:

I gather there is no way to attach headphones to the PS2, short of buying a stereo so you can put the sound output into the stereo and then into the headphones.

Did it occur to no one at Sony that when someone is playing Final Fantasy in the living room, everyone in the living room might not want to hear the same music play over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over?

It is amazing that there is no headphones jack on the PS2. I bought the USB headphones, but of course those only work with VoIP, not with simply not wanting to hear the goddamn music. I can tell my son to turn the sound off, but that’s not much fun for him.

What were you guys thinking????

Yours truly,

Because you also need a pre-amp to provide boosted signal to the phones.

Thanks though.

If someone would just come up with a simple double-RCA to preamp with volume control to headphone jack converter, they'd probably sell a million units by Christmas.
