New Ps2 Shipping Soon

[Matthew_McNally]

Sony have re-designed the PS2, and its significantly smaller.

I think it looks cool, and may well buy one for the bedroom.

Posting here, as I know there are always people considering DVD / PS2 / XBox type installs, and the reduction in size is sigificant.

If you are tight on space, you might wanna hold on for a bit.

same as the old PS2.

its smaller

quieter - no fan

believe it has built in IR for dvd remote

built in ethernet

main reason for posting here, is that it looks ideal for a glovebox.

whereas the xbox onky just fits in the boot!!!

whereas the xbox only just fits in the boot!!!

I have to agree with you on that part :D

[jaybo]

any idea when this is out matt ?

[aido]

That looks good, could be a good enough excuse for me to buy another PS2 as I sold mine a few years back :)

Wonder if they've left space for a mod chip this time as that looks like everythings going to be SMT

The new ps2 has a flip top/top loading drive, no drawer, and is powered from an 8.5V brick so it would make it easier to power in a car, just leave space for the lid to flip up :)

[Wosket]

wow, thats a lot smaller, makes the xbox look even bigger!!!!

Simple it has not got a Microsoft badge on it makes it vastly superier even if the XBOX graphics engine is better.

It's meant to be out on 1st Nov.

Only problem with in-car installation is the drive is top loading so you need lots of space above it for the lid to open. Has an external power supply so should be easier to make it run from the car supply.

just what i said hehe

Thats cute - me likeee!

I've always thought the ps2 was a bit ugly looking. The new shape is a big improvement.

Looks better...

Isn't there another one due soon too with HD + TV etc etc..

All in one entertainment system - in japan already i think i read.

I kind of lost interest in games around the chuckie egg + robotron era ...

I'm bored by the time the intro is done these days :)

That would be the PSX

but due to the poor sales in Japan, I doubt it will come out over here now.

I guess Xbox 2 will be the one to watch next :)
