^^^-Agrees with MM. I like that version better. The popup LCD is sweet. All it needs is a blue LED and it\'s perfect.

It was circulating around the net when the PS2 was just a rumor

there we\'re about 10 - 20 different fakes out there

Post by: SonyFan on February 05, 2002, 03:06:04 AM: Well DUH. Yeah I know it\'s just a mockup, knew that when I first looked at it. The right side air vents, the disk lid, the Open-Reset-Power buttons, and the fact that the LCD is next to useless at that position kinda give it away as being bogus. Still looks cool as hell tho.

Post by: MattPS2k on February 05, 2002, 03:26:40 AM: Yes! I remember seeing that in \'Game Informer\', that was a cool mockup. Anyone remember the XBox\'s "X" mockup? (The big ol\' X shaped console that stood up). Eesh, that was hideous.

Post by: RichG on February 05, 2002, 09:29:54 AM: That console is cool. I mean the actual real ps2 is one ugly son of a console really.

Post by: project86 on February 05, 2002, 09:58:36 AM: It kinda looks like a PS1 on steroids. It looks cool and all, but I like the concept that made it to the consumers.

Post by: on February 06, 2002, 07:22:28 AM: I know it\'s cool to have the CD tray slide in and out on the PS2 and XBox, but I\'m willing to bet that there\'d be a lot less CD scratches, and less production cost if they had gone with a flip-up tray like the PSOne.

Well, then again, I would have had to make sure there was about 6" clearance in my entertainment center for the flippy lid.

Nevermind...

Post by: kopking on February 06, 2002, 01:41:34 PM: yeah i saw that ages ago, a few years ago, it just a artist impression, i think it looks cool, but i dont care what it looks like, more what the games, hardwear is like.

i liked the lcd screen to see what was on the memory card, and the 4 ports. i dont really mind a flip up lid, but i guess its a way to stop people doing the disc swap cheat, that there was for the ps1, cos it had a flip lid. i dont think they went with the flip lid, cos they wanted it to be in most peoples front rooms, and there wouldnt be enough room if there was a flip lid ( like someone else already said)

Post by: videoholic on February 07, 2002, 04:24:29 AM: Actually I think you are wrong about the flip lid. I totally think they wanted it to be apart of people\'s entertainment centers. I wish they made it a 13" component. Then it would fit real nice in a rack. That would be sweet.

well i read a interview with the main man at sony or something ( long time ago) and he said he wants it to be like a vcr, as in its in everyones house, its not just a compurt console

Post by: nikos on February 08, 2002, 09:36:12 PM: well, it seems that most of you actually like this photo!!!
I really think its ugly to say the least.. Unattractive.
It looks like those big alarm clocks with temperature, time is 432939298 different countries along with a cd player to listen to music as well and stuff..

Does anyone have any other of the "fake" pictures of the ps2? I\'d like to seem them as well!!
If they made it look like a vcr and stuff that would be awesome!

Oh, and Sony.... come on..... 4 ports really are fun...

Yeah that would have been killer... with the mounting ears sold separately as an add on/option. You can, however, get a rack tray and put it on there. That\'s what we do with the CD players we use for non-sync.
