"Today's sleek, powerful games consoles are a far cry from the clunky boxes of yesteryear, with their basic graphics, cartridges and cassette tapes.

"I have been working with Ron Eagle, Director of Product Publicity at Sony PlayStation, for years and am always amazed at how deep he goes with the shoe projects he is involved with.
