Written By: matte18 (and 5 other contributors ). Recently a slim version of the first PS2 was introduced. The PlayStation 2 can stand on its side or lie flat to fit any space. The console was very powerful when it first came out. The third picture shows where the hard disk would be placed.

[QUOTE='magnax1'] Not really a whole lot of difference. If I was rebuying one I'd go for the slim because according to my friends experience it lasts longer (not a very good sample size, i know) and also because it has the modem built in. Also the PS2 fat is just too huge. I have no idea why MS and Sony decided to make their consoles so gigantic last gen.

Why exactly does the PS2 even have USB ports on it? You can use the USB ports on the fat PS2 for Code Breakers and such, but you think last gen's consoles were big?:lol. [QUOTE='magnax1'] Not really a whole lot of difference. 4clipika hindi fonts free online.

JuggaloRandall You can use the USB ports on the fat PS2 for Code Breakers and such, but you think last gen's consoles were big?:lol: Well Nintendo and Microsoft seem to try to make their systems incrementally smaller, while sony has gone the complete opposite direction. Playstation 4 is going to end up being bigger then my TV. [QUOTE='JuggaloRandall'][QUOTE='magnax1'] Not really a whole lot of difference.

OT: I had both versions of the PS2, and I liked the slim better. My fat was starting to have disc reading problems when the slims came out. So I traded it.

I didn't have any use for the PS2 HDD either so I wasn't at a loss. I've gone through two phats and they both died after several years. So I got a slim, so far, it works perfectly. Discs don't get scratched as badly, hardly at all in fact, it loads games much faster than the phat, and it's so much easier to bring back and forth between rooms, take along somewhere else, and isn't in the way at all. I also noticed that the disc drive wears out over time on the phat, to the point where it'll hardly even open. Since the slim has a lid instead of a sliding drive (like how the PSX has a lid), it prevents that issue.
