Newer PS2's can burn CD's?!

[Jonbo298]

I read the Letter's to the Editor section in the newest EGM (Driver 3 on cover) and one of them was someone who bought the newest PS2 and was wondering why his games looked smoother. EGM said a Sony Hardware contact said that is has an upgraded fetzer valve (whatever the hell that is) that upgrades the graphics and allows you to Burn CD's. For anyone who hasn't read it yet, the way to access this CD Burning Menu is to Tap Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. First of all- B, A? Where the hell is B, A?! I'm thinking its X, Circle. But also, why would the newer PS2's need the ability to burn CD's? This feature is really pointless at the time. I can understand in the future that this can be used if Sony ever released the HD, but what use would it be of right now? Can anyone with a PS2 model 330001 and up test this to see if there is such an option/menu? I would think Microsoft would rather be the first one to allow you to burn CD's from a console.
