BTW: The answer to your question is that since the PS2 is doing bluetooth, it doesn't need to worry about interference, since it's designed to run on the already interference-heavy 2.4Ghz band, if I'm informed correctly. Devices will, once told they are part of a network with a particular base unit, continue to interface with only that base unit until they're trusted somewhere else.
At least, this is how my palmpilot and PC do it.
On the other hand, one greedy 2.4Ghz phone can knock out an entire wireless LAN if it gets in too close to the base station, so it's not like wireless tech is flawless. Guess we'll just have to see.
