PS2 (Two)

that console is absolutely amazing i know it will ont change the spec but it looks so beatiful.


its smaller than one of my school books!! Its a shame i dont think i will get one.

it looks wonderful
 
Most Game Stores would probably give you about 30-40 quid for your old PS2, then add in games etc too that. Quite often they run a promo though to get trade ins and sell more 'NEW' consoles, so sales figures look higher, even though all people are doing is 'replacing' rather than getting a new console.

The PStwo does look very cool indeed, I recently bought a Silver PS2, but I may trade in my old Black one for this little one, though it sitting beside my Xbox it will look like a book mark.
 
If you are using or planning to use a hard drive with your PS2, this is not a good way to replace your PS2 because apparently there will be no way to hook up one. Sony must have taken a drastic measure to limit the potential use of PS2, like *cough* HDLoader. The compact size shouldn't make modding easier either, nor do I suspect changed disc loading mechanism would make disc swapping trick easier. Instead, it almost seems like Sony has declared PS2 is fully guarded against any kind of tampering. Interesting move.

I think it's pretty useless to be honest. Isn't the PS2 already behing performance-wise? Why release another version of the console when they should be working on the PS3? Almost everyone that wants a PS2 will probably already have one and not many people will buy this, I think.
 
they also made another version of the PS1, and they still sell loads of it. many people will buy a new PS2 for the new GTA, either because their old PS2 (laser) is broken or they never had one. if they're smart, they will release a bundle with GTA in it.

It's cheaper for them to produce, takes up less room in warehouses, and it's still outselling the other consoles easily (atm 30,000 a week in Japan alone). The timing with GTA and this release is perfect and quite bluntly aimed at stealing Halo 2's thunder (which tbh I think it will do).

Work on the PS3 will continue as planned but the chip at the heart of it is only just being finished and high production of it wont start until next year there's precious little they can do in terms of manufacture. Even the replies in this thread show the interest from people who still have perfectly working PS2s, let alone childrens' parents looking to get 'one of those playstation things' for Christmas.

Made another thread having not seen this one, must apologise for that!

I just bought a new PS2, i'm gonna give that one to my nephew and get this, easier to fit this and my cube in a smaller space in my room, I reckon they'll have worked on the performance of it aswell. Having no disk tray may help greatly.
 
Well atleast you wouldnt need to buy a network adapter if you bought this one as it has a built in one, so now sony are working on 3 consoles and a handheld gaming thing which are, PSP, PSTwo, PS3 and the PSX.

PSTwo is ready for release pretty much so they're no longer working on it, it's gonna be released November 1st in the UK.

The PSX was recieved so poorly in Japan, I believe it was dropped by Sony.

So pretty much the PS3 and PSP is all that they're working on.
 
Actually in the latest OPSM said what are you most waited for or something and they mentioned the PSX, anyway have you heard what the PS3 graphics are gonna be like. I found out because they said Fifa is already on the PS3 and saying what the graphics should be like sounded very realistic.
 
Seems Sony has had a little hiccup just like MS did :

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has identified a possible safety concern with certain AC Adaptor units supplied with the new slimline PlayStation®2.
