I was thinking if Sony could add the capability to add an external drive so that existing PS2 games could be played, that would be cool. Chances are if I got one, I'd be playing it at home instead of on the train, bus, etc.

Thats quite a bit, are they the same discs as a gamecube disc or similar at least in size?
