The PSTwo is so class.

Makes the Xbox so unattractive...

Man, the PS2 should have been top loading from jump. With Sony\'s track record, when it comes to quality control, the less moving parts the better.

Wow, it\'s a shame you don\'t already have a PS2.

Besides, just because it doesn\'t have an internal HDD bay doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t support it.

It\'s only a TINY BIT bigger then a standard dvd amaray case and as tall as two dvd amaray cases stacked up. It\'s just a beautiful design all around. The top loading doesn\'t bother me at all. My Gamecube and Dreamcast were both top loading models and they still work to this day.

I need to buy a new PS2, as I gave my old launch one to my father.

I\'m thought Sony said the PSTwo will not support the HDD and that they are currently looking into alternative methods?

Post by: Kurt Angle on October 19, 2004, 07:19:38 AM: It looks great imo. Much better than the old chunky one.

Post by: clips on October 19, 2004, 04:48:59 PM: i think square was highly upset about it not having a hdd hookup..because of the whole ff11 thing..which i don\'t blame them to a degree, it shows that sony is basically calling the hdd a failure...and what happens if my ps2 just happens to break down? am i gonna be forced to buy this thing with no hdd support? or are they still going to produce the old model with the hdd access as well?

i have the hdd and i\'d be pissed if they stopped support for it...

CHUNKY!? :mad:

Post by: Eiksirf on October 20, 2004, 02:30:04 PM: I bought the PStwo to replace my junky chunky one. ;]

It\'s wildly tiny. In fact, I\'d say it\'s so small as to become unattractive. It doesn\'t look right next to big tvs, stereos and the ungodly sized Xbox.

But it works like a charm so far, which is what I needed. Though no one talks about its lack of a cooling fan. That makes me nervous, but I played Def Jam all day on it without problems.

My old PS2 kept scratching the disc and refusing to play it. It took me two systems and three copies of Def Jam, but I\'ve finally beaten it. :)
