Sony Announces New Ps2

bowti3
If you guys havent heard or if you have. Sony has a new PS2 out. Not PS3 or anything. This version of the PS2 is very small that its 75% smaller then the first one and it includes a preinstalled network adapter. Its pretty cool as I saw one today at Best Buy.

Check out the pictures and the whole review here.

yeah it was the samething they did with ps1 over time then made it smaller and more compact. I will just wait til the price gets real low even though it is a waste of money.

Actually from what someone told me over MSN (Most like Trystim) that it will start at the same price as our current PS2s, (like they did with GBA -> GBA SP?) and the old PS2s will have a large price cut. (When I plan on buying ^^)

When I moved out my parent's house I had to buy a ps2. Thats when I found out about it. I reserved it and got it about 3 weeks ago now. Its almost exactly the same. The port for the hardrive is missing (not sure how it hooks in) it has the modem built in, and theres an infared port on the bottom right (remote maybe?) Its quieter, it opens like the ps1. 0.o

It doesnt support the HD, so you wont be able to play FFXI and such sad.gif
Looks like a waste of money to me, exept if you want to install it on a car.

X.x thats rather upsetting. Does that mean they have no intention of making other games with the HD feature? damn I was hoping to not have to buy any more memory cards =x. DO you think perhaps they will release a usb HD for this one?

Why doesn't it support a HD? I would think that it would seeing as how FFXI is pretty much a top seller and FFXII is coming out soon.

Yea... I think it looks cool. But for people that just payed $100 on the new HDD, Well why would you wast your money on a thing like that. You old ps2 is fine. Infact i belive its better. The new ps2 has no fan i mean it must over heat ya know. But the HDD reason is really why i wont go out and buy it.

Nintendo on the other hand have several different models of gameboys - but not on consoles. In my opinion consoles are not supposed to be transfered from place to place - they are supposed to be stationary.

ugh.. these consoles not my type now... if u keep buying the new *BLEEP* and follow the new consoles, really a waste of money... i bought n64 and ps1 and then i was like.. omg this wont finish. wanna bet till year 2010 already 10 new consoles out? like now just came out nintendo ds..


Personally I dont play games because of the graphics. If tetris had ultra power graphics - the stones were like real Oh my god ! Would you think it would be the most hilarious game ever? These days the actuall gaming criteria have changed - fun vs graphics ? What aspect do you think wins ? The fun in the games are often ignored by the producers when they have to focus to make the graphics as good as possible.

Think about Mario - Isnt that the best game ever? Well . . i assume none of you have ever completed it after falling down at the first jump tongue.gif

Hey i dont think this PS2 mini is gonna be successful and i dont think it is true that it would be launched.. We have by now all seen the PS3 demo and all know that it would be released soon.. I am waiting for PS3 since it is 9 times powerfull than XboX 360

  9. Sony Ericsson T650i
    Personal Review (1)
    The first thing that struck me when I held up the Sony Ericsson T650i was just how tiny its
    keys were. In its marketing material, Sony Ericsson says that the phone designers took QUOTE
    inspiration from nature and the Nordic light to produce a phone that is beautiful to look at and
    alive with energy. I found this rather exaggerated, but looking beyond the strange keypad, the
    phone is otherwise pretty well-designed. The top half of it is covered in stainless steel. The
    screen is made from scratch-resistant mineral glass. At 12.55mm, it's quite slim too. A ....

    on Symbian UIQ3 platform as the p990i and M600i with some little changes. The OS is quicker in this
    phone compared to all the other phones. ITs really nice and has very small dimensions comparing to
    the previous standards. It come with an inbuilt 128 mb graphic card. Its really good to use. It

    alone. THE GAMES ARE $100. Sony thinks this is a reasonable price for what it includes. But do
    you. I don't. And if they stop making PS2 games I bet Microsofts XBox sales will go up. Or
    Nitendoes Gamecube. Like no one will pay through their noses just for a video game system and the
