And you have to buy a ''sync-on-green'' monitor, which, as far as I know, is just a Sony Trinitron (congratulations, Sony just pulled a Microsoft on you. 
)

And about how much will that cost?

about $200. With reguards to the VGA adapter that comes with the PS2 Linux kit, I won''t use it because I also plan to get the PS2 LCD Display. The full details of the kit: http://cgi.ca.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1289509229

Hello all,
Thought I join the fray considering I have one. So if you have any specific questions I''ll do my best to answer.
As far as I heard there are no plans on releasing it in the US. There is a big petition but so far Sony hasn''t announced anything.
On the ''sync-on-green'', originally I was afraid I would have to get a Sony monitor but luckily it worked on one of my monitors. I was also able to get it work on a ViewSonic 17GS.
How does it work?
The package includes a USB (Jap)keyboard, USB mouse, DVD-ROM, VGA adapter, PCMCIA net/HD card, and a 40GB external IDE HD. After hooking everything up, you then install a special version of Linux on the external HD. The last thing you make is a boot mem card. You then boot Linux on the HD at which point it is a full Linux system with development tools. (You need to at least use the VGA adapter once to install but you can make it boot to NTSC afterwards)
It originally cost $200 but that''s when it was released. I believe there''s only 2000 made. So getting at that price would only be possible if it was released in the US.
Think that covers most of the posts.

Nice vpu. It was officially announced for the US by a Sony Representative. I got the Info from Slashdot.com, ConsoleWire.com, and here, Gamedev.net.

Sorry bout that. Just got out of crunch-mode at work. Missed that rather BIG news.
Looks like it is not just US, it''s a worldwide release.
