The good: Huge library of games; svelte design; built-in networking/modem ports and remote sensor; doubles as a CD/DVD player; free online gaming with select titles.
The bad: Top-loading disc tray; only two controller ports; no hard disk expansion option; Xbox's graphics capabilities are superior.
The bottom line: Sony's slimmed-down, network-ready PS2 is a welcome update to the world's most popular video game console.

Not a good idea!!!
Pros: It's slim...Whoop t' doo.
Cons: The slim design is pointless with a pop-top load. There's no point for it to be slim then. NO HDD!!! One of the biggest games out there for PS2 is FFXI. I was just looking yesterday to go buy another PS2 only so that both me and my wife could play at

Pros: Good thing about it is that you can buy an xbox instead
Cons: Nothing at all about the new or old ps2 is worth buying it
Summary: terrible machine with terrible graphics. Microsoft has really hit it big with the xbox.

The PS2, in safe mode.

Pros: No over-heating, thank the lord.
Cons: Thinner. More of a price tag.

The techies at Sony ripped out the beast dust covered fan and replaced it with, wait for it.... Nothing.
Oh and, that really annoying whiring noise, well done, the fan doesn't make a noise. It aint there.
Also. Well done techies, you decided to take out the electronically controlled CD Tray, that was actually a good idea, it got annoying from time to time and mine got stuck in the process of retreating back.
The new PS2 includes an all labour working console, and it's bringing back the rememberance of it's dead first brother, the PSone, with the standard push to break switch controlling the shutter type tray.
Apart from that. Your paying for an anorexic PS2 with attitude and some rip off modifications.1 out of 7 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: ok so sony just made there other system smaller just like the ps1 but isnt this system just made even smaller than this, the psp? it has ps2 graphics, most ps2 games are coming to psp. lol its funny how sony trys to change an out dated system by making it smaller and making it so you dont need the network adapter, ill just wake up anyone who thinks this ps2 is the best... ITS STILL THE OLD 1 MADE TO SELL , ive already heard of heat problems on this little thing, its tooo skinny!, its like a starving system, give it some meat!!!, let it live.... or just buy the beefy xbox instead of getting this peice of crap!
