Druna Skass Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have to wonder, how would the network adapter fit on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 LOL!!! its like 1/3 the size of the regular ps2! Bet that's a good 150 bucks still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobywan Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 It has one built in. Problem is that the Hard drive unit won't work in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 It has one built in. Problem is that the Hard drive unit won't work in this case. maybe it will have a firewire adapter or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Awesome. I never bought a PS2, this may make the decision to get one a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) The network adapter is bulit in so you don't have to buy one. I wonder what they'll do about the HDD. There's alot of gamers that play this little known game called Final Fantasy XI.. Edited September 21, 2004 by dejr8bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Supposively PS3 and Xbox 2 are around 2005-2006.......and like the previous models it'll be 2 years or so before I get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghadrack Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 That is really cool, I lugged my PS2 all the way from Chattanooga to Hawaii last year, the new size reduction will make that little sucker extremely handy to carry around. Just by looking at the photo I think that it would be possible to remove about half the Pages from a 100CD case, insert a foam liner and you would be able to carry around a PS2, cables and 50 games in the space of one large CD wallet. The PS2 still has my money for travelling universal media device, games, DVD's and music in a pinch, the only thing that would make it better would be a rechargable battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 wow i did not relize the new ps2 would be so small, it looks good. but i already got one so i do not need this one, it is a shame i would rather have the small sleeker one. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Just when everyone gets the new one, they will come out with the PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfan Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm more concerned with how hot this thing gets. It doesn't look like there's much room for a cooling fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm more concerned with how hot this thing gets. It doesn't look like there's much room for a cooling fan. I think the power supply is going to be external so that will help out some. So you'll have an AC adapter. They did this with the PSone.

MicronianDevil Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Even when this new, sleaker PS2 is released, Sony will continue making the bigger model for those who want to play FFXI. Or so I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Came earlier than I expected it---which is good, because Xenosaga 2 will SO kill my launch-day PS2. Heck, Ace Combat 5 might, since I like to replay every mission with every plane... And I needed a new controller anyways, might as well wait another 6 weeks.

ewilen Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The IGN article says it'll be released the first week of November. Odd, it also says that some software won't work with it, "but what those titles are have not been revealed". I wonder how hard it will be to modify it to play imports.

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 i really hope it has a top feed (like the PS1's)...it'll be easier to use them boot disks to play those import games the whole removing the tray cover thing just really bugs me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm still amazed that some people still have functioning launch models. Mine went kaput after about a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm still amazed that some people still have functioning launch models. Mine went kaput after about a year. Heh. Mine's fine and running strong. Got mine on X-mas, and it's been to Cottages, Parties, NY parties, and back. It's here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and it's all out of bubblegum. That PSTwo looks kinda cool. It must be the supermodel version. You turn it sideways and it disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 looks like it still uses a tray for loading. oh well, not gonna get it, gotta figure out how to install a bigger hard drive in mine than the standard sony one. november 1 in the us. guess i will go see it in the store, everyone i know already has the original ps2. i stood in line for 4 hours to get the first ps2.

Limbo Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm still amazed that some people still have functioning launch models. Mine went kaput after about a year.

Too bad the new one has no hd support... my HDLoader is indeed loaded I agree, only time I had a console break was when my cousin was trying to get a dirty game on SNES to play and kept turning the thing on and off until it no longer turned on.

Max Jenius Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Tempting... very tempting... If its easy to play imports on, I'll be sold. I wanna play that new Naruto game for ps2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm glad I'm not the only one who hopes it's top-loading. No matter how careful you are (and I am obsessively careful with discs), most any tray-loader will make some scratches. (Strangely, my car CD player is much much better than my PS2 or PC, it never leaves even the tiniest mark) And the PStwo looks even thinner than the thinnest Sony DVD player, how there could be room inside for a tray mechanism...

Dat Pinche Haro!

Mellow Yellow Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) Damn, maybe I should get one since I don't own a PS2 yet lol, I was even thinking of buying a Dreamcast a couple weeks ago.
