Slim VS Fat

Ok Ive had my PS2 (fat version) for about 5 years. Everytime I put in a brand new game it comes out with tiny, but noticable, scratches. Do you think it would be a good idea to get a slim PS2 or should I stay with the fat one? Also, what are the differences (good and bad) between the Slim and the fat PS2s?

Thanks

if its scratching your discs maybe you should get a slim one. Iv´e had my slim for 2 years now and i´ve had no problems with it. Differnces: with the slim one you can just open the tray and clean the laser if gets dirty, in the fat you have to actually open your console to clean it. Otherwise they´re pretty much the same.

you have to get a slim one if your gonna get a ps2

they're not selling fats anymore

I don't like slims because of the disk tray and the power brick

If your PS2 is working fine, then you have no need to buy a new one.paranoiasurviva

Well it's not working fine, it's scratching his discs. I say just get a slim. They're fairly cheap, and it'll last you a while.

get a slim so you can play online, if you have no intention of playing online get a used fat or try to get teh problem fixed

I heard that you can plug an ethernet cable to slim to play online.Is that true?Frylock330

Yeah, It's true.........But off of that, I think you should get the slim version like everyone else said. It's smaller, lighter, ethernet ready, and that silver color one looks sweet.

I had a simular problem but I tried out my brohters slim and prety much hated everything about it. Get's really hot. I dont like how you take games in and out of the system. So instead I looked online, got instructions to take apart the PS2 and cleaned it out with a can of air. Put it back together and everything is fine. Only problem is I have to take it apart once every two months to clean it and eventually all of that wear and tears going to catch up. But as for now I'm fine with it. Fat till it dies for me.

Seems to be fine to me. Small scratches don't affect the game.paranoiasurviva

Small scratches may be fine for you but when I buy a game, I dont expect my console to damage it. I would be extremely pissed if some of my games were damaged.
