Ps2 7000 vs 9000

The main difference between the PS2 Slimline 7000 series and The P2 Slimline 9000 series is The current PS2 (9000) is switch to an internal power supply. Plus the lazer in the 9000 series is a tad better. The current PS2 is even slightly lighter then the PS2 7000.

The current PS2 slimline ismore reliable then the previous PS2 slimline (lazers were not as good)

The PS2 slimline sliver 7001and The original PS25001 (phat model) are the most reliable for good quality lazers.In addition to the current PS2 (with Toy story 3 as the pack in game)

There are about 22? motherboard revisions since the Playstationlaunched way back in march 4th 2000. So the current PS2 should do you just fine.

As I already said on the other thread, the 90000's internal fan is more efficient than the previous ones, and it runs noticeably cooler than the 70000. That said, it seems to be the most reliable model so far. The graphics are exactly the same and the GPU hasn't been changed at all. The CPU is a bit faster than the previous models, but there's no noticeable difference in performance.

From my experience with it so far, I definitely recommend it.

Efficiency is one thing, but just remember that, as time goes by, companies tend to reduce the quality of the actual components to cut production costs. I have a perfectly fine working original model ps2. Never once have I had a disc read error. I think a lot of it has to do with personal care.

**The original Gamecube is the ONLY version of the system to get.

Booya!

Very true with many things. Profit is everything to companies. They try to make products last for a certian amount of time; nothing less or they get a bad rep, nothing more or they loose money on people having to re-buy. (cars are THE WORST with that. used to work for a car company and they do it.. trust me)

Its very odd that sony would do anouther remake of the ps2 slim at the same time as the ps3 was released (not sure exactly what years, but it was about the same time period)

Well I don't have kids or a dog to ruin it, I generally hang out at other people's house rather than inviting them to mine so no stupid friends issues, and I don't pack it around it stays on a shelf, nor do I beat my systems or pour liquids on them or anything like that.. Yet I'm on my 3rd PS2 because of the laser dying out on the first 2. So it has zero to do with personal care, it's all about shoddy parts.

Under what circumstances, though? Which models were the 3 systems? Did you buy them new or used? Is the shelf enclosed? Saying it has ZERO to do with personal care? C'mon now, that is a rather ridiculous statement. I'm not saying PS2s don't ever die, but I will tell you that from 2000 all the way up until now, I know of only ONE person with a ps2 that had problems, and that was a launch model. The very first batch of almost any electronic device has problems, unless it is outrageously expensive(audiophile stuff, etc.)

Well my 30 year old Atari 2600 still works. My 35 year old Pong system still works. And as for disc-based systems, they all still work including my Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and PSX. Yet I'm on my 3rd PS2. I firmly believe it's shoddy parts.
