Have you seen how th PS2 Project LOOKED like??

here\'s how the ps2 used to look like before it made it into production!!!

thank god they changed their minds about the shape!!
The current one is sweet!!

i like that one better

DAYYYYMMMM... I\'m saving that off. I\'ve been looking everywhere for that pick.

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

you do know thats a fake picture

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

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

Yea, I saw that picture in a magazine, I think it was the Official UK magazine. They said it was just an artist impression of what it might  look like

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.

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.

That console is cool. I mean the actual real ps2 is one ugly son of a console really.

It kinda looks like a PS1 on steroids. It looks cool and all, but I like the concept that made it to the consumers.

same here sony fan, ive been looking for that pic for ages that thing looks SWEEEEET

and it was NEVER the intended design, just some concept art by people not associated with Sony

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...

and also its got 4 controller ports and teh lcd is pretty cool

at least it looks cool to me

i am happy with the design they have though

its not that bad at all

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)

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
