is there any hardware difference in them?

Creamy Goodness · 13-10-2004 2:10pm

just noticed the tiny power supply too :eek: :eek:

God love the Japanese and their love of making things constantly smaller. They are cheating a little with the external psu but it's still very very small.

Jim · 13-10-2004 2:18pm

Wow, as much as my disliking of Sony goes that looks fookin sweet.

CyberGhost · 13-10-2004 2:40pm

Cr3mo, nope, it's exactly like the original ps2, just smaller!

The PSP looks a good bit smaller in that picture. Its still big but it must have been the small asian girls because it looked huge in the pictures posted in the last thread.

monkeyfudge · 13-10-2004 4:02pm

I really liked what the did with the redesigned PSone.

But I've never liked the PS2 design, and making it smaller doesn't really help, other than making it a slightly smaller eye sore.

With the PSU outside it should be quieter. Which is a good thing, as my PS2 is far too noisey...

Ciaran500 · 13-10-2004 4:19pm

But its a bloody flip to so it will still need that same clearance as the PS2 needs.

I think this will be what prompts me to finally buy a PS2.

/me searches eBay for Ico...

seamus · 13-10-2004 9:33pm

As well as the external PSU, it's not upgradeable with an internal HDD.

Looks very nice, I'll probably get one once everyone starts going nuts over the next generation consoles and these drop in price.

Beats the Gamecube in terms of cuteness. Looks like we have a new champion.

Spoonman · 14-10-2004 1:09am

Strangely reminds me somewhat of the sinclair zx spectrum 48k, its about the same form factor and shares it good looks :O

Spectrum had better games tho...

C64 was better than the Spectrum. :eek:

Retr0gamer · 14-10-2004 1:53pm

C64 was better than the Spectrum.

Far better hardware but not it couldn't beat the speccy for great games.

well, maybe it's real, maybe not! I would call them before buying! and would pay only by paypal! if something happens, ebay has a protection! so you would get at least some of your money back!

looks real TBH

Dont be at yourself · 02-11-2004 2:10pm

Wasn't going to buy it, but then I saw it in the flesh and was won over. Tiny.

Moojuice · 02-11-2004 6:06pm

adr3n · 02-11-2004 8:11pm

i ordered it on thursday, he emailed me on Friday saying it had been sent, since then he hasnt replied to ANY of my emails. And will not reply by the looks of it....

so basically i have lost out on £100

Creamy Goodness · 02-11-2004 8:14pm

yeh the slimline is great i bought one on friday.

really really small them pictures up top make it look huge!!!

it's about the size of 1 1/2 dvd cases in length.

the only noise outta it is when it's loading, other than that what noise?

why didnt you just go into game and pay an extra €10 to get it there and then?

adr3n · 02-11-2004 8:22pm

i was feeling very dumb.... how can i get my £100 back. Will i have to get the police involved

duuke · 04-11-2004 5:26pm

Are you talking about last week? If so, it's only been a week, I'd give it another week before I start to panic.

I'm thinking about getting a PS2 now, this slimline one looks great, and I really want San Andreas.. only problem is I would have liked to put a hard drive in it, I guess that's not completely impossible? At best I imagine I can have the internal hard drive.. external.. which won't exactly look great. I was hoping to get HDAdvance and a new HDD etc, now I'm thinking I'll just have to get the PS2 and a mod chip (which I imagine will be twice as hard to install now) 'cos I really want to be able to play backups.

Ahh decisions..

Slim PS2 has been successfully chipped, but still no HD support. Since the new slim PS2 is USB2 I'm hoping upon hope for external HD support.

It's ugly.

Had they made it solid, smooth-beveled front-end, in matte/glossy (silk suppose) silver or black and a smooth white (iPod-ish pearl) designs, it'd be better.

ANd subtle slow pulsing (heartbeat) leds

mad m · 07-11-2004 10:37am

Need some advice as to the new slim Ps2.My brother in-law is in states and he is coming home for Christmas,i was going to ask him to get one seeing as the euro is great against the dollar!Would i have problems in playing games from europe or does it matter....e.g....pal or Ntsc games?havent a clue about PS2,son wants one for christmas.

thanks

Ciaran500 · 07-11-2004 11:09am

You would not be able to play European games on an American PStwo unless you get it chipped.

Brerrabbit · 07-11-2004 12:41pm

Picked one up in smiths yesterday with GTA:SA for 180 quid. very pleased; its dinky! I'm afraid I'll forget its there and step on it or something!
I also recently got a ninja PC from Komplett so this combined with HL2 and a burgeoning DVD collection does not bode well for whats left of my social life

WOW! PS2 SlimLine! it's tiny!
