Ha ha that looks pretty cool. I’m not a PS2 fan but… why did they release this? Is it like a PS2.5? Also, what’s it gonna cost? ---

:stunned: _cough_hurryupandbringoutPS3_cough_ But…eh…yeah that is pretty cool for anyone who doesn’t have one already (there aren’t many mind you) or rich kids. Man that thing is small!:drool: It’s a pity I can’t afford one. My PS2 is up the left. ☹ ---

it’s like the PSone and the PS1, from what I’ve gathered… basically a smaller slightly enhanced version 🙂 ---

Sony released it in hopes of rejuvenating the market for the console. It’s gonna cost the same as the original PS2 and it has a built-in ethernet port (edit: didn’t notice it was already mentioned, oops). In one word: Sweet. There’s one downside, though. By making the console smaller, the PS2(2) now has an external power brick as opposed to the original one which didn’t. ---

Nothing a little spray paint can’t do 😉 But seeing as Sony’s released multicolored PS2’s before: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3675700.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3675700.stm) They’ll probably follow suit with the nextgen PS2’s. ---

That yellow box is _really_ ugly. I don’t see how making it smaller will make me want to buy it. I could just wait a few months and get a PSP if I wanted a small PS2. ---
