New Look PS2

[Dr Pirate]

I saw an advert across the road on a bus stop tonight with the caption "Playstation 2 Reborn" and a picture of an uber thin PS2, any details??

no, no and no.

if you want divx/mp3 playback you'll be wanting a chipped xbox with 120gig hard drive... or a pc :rolleyes:

My old ps2 gave up the ghost last week, so I bought one of the new ones. Good god it's tiny! About the same size as a hard back book.

nowt wrong with the brick ps2 as you can actually put it on it's side in a small gap whereas the new one needs MORE space to do the same due to the cheapy flip top lid...

that and you have somewhere to put your weed stash in the big ps2, and when you've been playing for a while you entire room smells of 'herbs'... :D

My sisters bf has a new PS2 they're really sleek and cool,

[jake0]

im thinking about getting one, they look quite cool!

[Jazza]

I'm happy with my silver PS2 :)

[Ramius]

The new slimline PS2 has USB 2.0 which means a external hard drive can be inserted.

[Mr_Wobble]

That new PS2 is diddy! However, as already pointed out, you have to give space for the flip up top, so you can't really save space by standing it on end. Pity, if they'd given it an ejecting tray it could've been perfect.

[Miguel Sanchez]

haha thats so true about the weed stash i always put mine in there when our flat gets inspected :D

[Gavman]

:D i got that new PS2 the day before release, its fecking uber sexy and i love it :D

Indeed, quite perfect.

i'm hearing bad things about the reliability of the new pstwo... some shops have had 2 dozen returned as faulty.

the thing costs $20 to produce too.

i'll stick with the big boxy ps2 kthnx

This is not surprising, I think the original PS had a load of naff ones at the start of production.

a few of my mates ran their playstations upside down due to the crap build quality of the originals :rolleyes:
