[evoWalo]

You're telling me. I bet you would have an easier time cramming that into a car than the PS2

[mindgam3]

fairly impressive ;)

Good move to boost sales once again before the PS3 ;)

Exactly :wink: But what a reduction though !!

With my nearly broken ps2, and in need of a network adapter for the upcoming GT4, the retail price of 149€ sounds promising :D

Here are more specs:

Yeah, it looks pretty bad ass.

Not a bad price too w/ the network adaptor built in.

Excellent marketing move.

I'm buying it my PS2 is a pain in the ass lately having to crack it open and readjust the laser all the time.

Or to maybe steal some of Halo 2's thunder since it comes out a week after the PStwo. :lol:

Somehow when i keep coming back to take a peak on this thread it makes me think that someone out there that sees this new ps2 would think of a way to hack into it(aka chip). heheh

[wolfster]

hahahah...dimpy thing...hope you don't break it in half lifting it outta the box

did they just get rid of the hard drive? that what it looks like.

[T-Bird]

they never had a hard drive on the PS2, they had an expansion slot for the optional Network adaptor or Hard Drive (comes with Final Fantasy or Linux kit) but it never came with one.
