Im considering trading in my PS2 9000 series in for a fat PS2

Im wondering if I should do this, because, I have heard alot of PSone compatibility issues with this model which I DO care about GREATLY, such as Chrono Cross (that's the biggy for me since it's one of my favorite games-ever) and I was wondering how severe the compatibility models are (not being able to watch stuff like the ending on CC makes me a bit irritated if that's true). Suggestions please?

well mainly cause ive heard some compatibility problems with games I wanna play/replay

I guess i'll test Chrono Cross to see if it really has problems on my PS2 before I jump to conclusions.

Chrono Cross works fine on my slim PS2. The only compatability issue I've ever had with PS2 was with Dino Crisis 2 and that was with my fat PS2 before it fell (which didn't "break" anything it just pulled out the connection to the disc drive opener and on/off button, so it would turn on but not open the disc >:S)

I actually own a PS2 slim (its the 7000 series but it should be similar), and all of my PS2 games work perfect for the most part (other then some rare cases such as Resident Evil 3, which makes a loud beeping noise whenever I go on the "load game screen", but it disappears afterwards)

the old fat PS2s have a lot more mechanical problems with them, even if you find a working one, it will last you a year.... maximum.

if your slim PS2 isnt working with PS1 games, try getting a PS2 from the 7000 series, or even get your hands on a PS1, they are dirt cheap now, and the later models like the slimline versions, work perfectly.

so yes either keep your PS2 or get a PS1

Positive-played it on my friend's PS1 and it worked perfectly fine on that. Even tried it on another friends fat PS2 and it worked fine on that. also-I dont have the space right now for ANOTHER system so i'd rather just have a PS2 that plays PS1 games properly than dealing with a PS2 and a PS1.....
