PS2: First slimmer, now silver?
UK retailer leaks details about a silver-colored version of the skinnier console without Sony's consent.
When Sony released the slimmer PlayStation 2 in November, sales of the console jumped so high that many retailers were left without units to sell for the busy holiday season. It appears that Sony may be employing the same "new look" tactic to spur sales yet again.
On its Web site, UK retailer Argos prematurely posted a page featuring the slimmer PS2 in a silver hue for 99 pounds ($186). The Web page has since been changed, but the picture of the unit is still up.
Sony was unavailable for comment at press time. The UK is no stranger to lustrous PS2s, as there is already a UK-exclusive silver-colored version of the old PS2. No word on whether or not the slimmer silver model will make it to the States, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear.
