Japan's Trade Ministry has decided that to prohibit exports of Sony's new Playstation 2 game console without special permission. The console and it's memory cards are subject to controls under Japan's Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade law because of the system encryption technology. The Trade Ministry will issue a special permit before Sony can begin Playstation 2 sales in Europe and North America this fall.
