The question is, how durable is it?

The using the vertical stand is the worse thing you can do to a PS2 second to turning off the ps2 from the back instead of holding the power button for a few seconds.

Anyways, this slim look makes it laptop portable. So, all we need is an LCD screen and a gamer class batter and we have PSone all over again.

BTW, it's not going to be "officially" called the PStwo... Although I think it's coming in a yellow box.

I saw this coming before the PS2 came out.

...if you don't get it PStwo is like PS2 just thinner. I don' t think it would use extra things that PS2 dosen't have. Heck it seems that it have less features, but who is using that HD?

It's like GBA and GBA SP.

*checks EBGames*

Yep, PS2 still more expensive than X-box/Gamecube. Hell if they start as high price with the next generation of consoles they may lose. Mainstream people are not buying a console if there is a alot cheaper one, and if they are both of similar quality.

Maybe it's time for me to get this slim model, or I wait until the PS3. There is actually a few games I want to play.

Daaaaaaaamn. If it's any more reliable than the original PS2, I might have to get. Maybe.

Oh I'm sure some people might figure out a way...

Although there's really not much room for error in messing around with that puppy. It looks so fragile.

I can''t remember how exactly the hard-drive connected, but I'm sure a little modification is entirely possible.

"I have a PS2... you know, the super-slim model..."

There has to be a work around for the HDD thing though... unless they're going to come out with a new model exclusively for the PStwo. That'll confuse some gamers.

A price cut would be a nice addition, and I was thinking about getting a PS2 recently. The normal PS2 is kind of bulky, at least it seems to me. Or I could just wait like 2 more years and buy one for 10 bucks at a gamestop.

If it gets a nice price drop, I'll be sure to pick one up.

It would have been good if they had announced it earlier... when everyone didnt have a PS2...

The only ones who will probably get it are the ones who want it for novelty, and the ones that dont have a PS2 in the first place.

I don't like the PS1/one + PS2/two trend. How do you differentiate them in normal conversation? You don't! This upsets me greatly. Just like this smiley, I begin to cry.

Actually...now that I think of it...if you need a USB port for the keyboard...you won't have a way of having a port for the hard drive...unless it's some weird USB/serial thing...

...wtf...this better not be some odd mistake by Sony.

That's strange given that the PSone had a price cut when it came out, no?

Give it until January.

Here's some shocking news: Sony has announced that there won't be a price cut. Sorry, it's still costing the same as a PS2.

I agree. Actually, I wouldn't want to get a PS2 anyway. I do want a DS..it has two screens, one of which is touch sensitive, and, if I'm not mistaken, it's cheaper...at least I think it's cheaper than that.
