The author of this topic said that the regular PS2's don't support DVD+-R/RW and Progressive Scan.
Wrong!
I have a PS2 (not PStwo) 50000 series, and it supports DVD+-R/RW and Progressive Scan just like the slim PStwo. The 50000 series also has the remote sensore built-in and is the last model released before SONY started making the slim PStwo. violian
I was not mistaken. I was not referring to that model :shock:
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!1!! PS2's r such S***!! u guys realize that GC's and xbox's NEVER break. my slim PS2 is practicly brand new and it already f****** wont read any discs@!!!!
hey infectX u r a M**********R that you're ps2 won't read any discs.... wow like we should believe that unless you sat on it or p****d on it then i'd understand it
i got ps2 3000 series & ps2 5000 series & pstwo the slim pstwo really isn't that great you know the 5000 series is still the best of them all it does support dvd-rw's & dvd+rw's but i wouldn't recommend it for that
So the rumors I've heard about the slimline "melting" aren't true? My current PS2 still works but I have this feeling that it's going to die sometime soon.
Top loaders usually break easier than front loaders though, and the dismissal of the hdd is just wrong! But it is very sexy and small and quiet (or so I hear) and it has a good price too.
2. Upgraded DVD Support (DVD-R/RW ~ DVD+R/RW support) - (Upgraded DVD Software).
3. Slim Design (Console is more durable and fits in most small places) - (It will be easier to move your console around the house or take it to a friends house)
4. Flip Top Design (The console works like the PS1, so you have to insert PS2 Games/DVD's in the top of the console).
~ CONS ~ 1. No HDD Support (There is no place to attach a harddrive to the console) - (Sony has substituted that for the slim design).
2. Flip Top Design (You cannot store the console in small vertical places due to this design) - (When console is opened it averages to 4.5in height)

u forgot about the disc read error of the old PS2 cos i use to get that alot with mine but now i have the Slim one i have not once ever got any problems like that, so it is a better lens
i've had alot of disc read error problems with the old ps2's and am now thinking about buying a pstwo slimline, so i was wondering how long you've been playing yours with no disc read errors?
Personally I don't like it since it doesn't have the sliding tray like the old version does. It's just a smaller PS2 like the conversion from the chunky PS to PS1, an attempt to make it cute but it's only made it flimsy. Warning if you have your console upright all the time, make sure no one trips over the controller wires cause unlike the Xbox with its trip-wire which disconnects the cable the PS2 will snag and crash land.....and whatever game you have inside will get majorly scratched and won't play. I KNOW THIS CAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME!
the way i see it is the slim ps2 is only worth buying if your current one gives out (disc read error etc) before the ps3 release, and you cant wait till the ps3 comes out

That's probably the most sensible opinion regarding this ps2 vs psTwo topic.
one anwser YES its the best ps2 its so small that its so easy to take to a friends house who cares about the verticle stand its it falls by something there goes your ps2 plus it comes with the online apt so u dont ned to waste like 50$ on a online apt so all thumbs up here ps2 slim is the best one
I have tricked out my fat arse PS2 with Network Adaptor and Modchip for various types of CD's. Space is not an issue so no point in getting a Slimline.
All my friends have PS2's so I don't need to take it with me. Even if they didn't, I can't be bothered going around the back of my Home Theatre set-up to unplug everything.
I got a slimline for Christmas this year, after my old PS2 stopped loving me and refused to play all my old Final Fantasy games. I have to admit, I prefer the slimline design. It takes up less space next to my TV.
YES, the PS2 Slim, is pretty cool, i got it and be very happy, if you have a PS2 500 series, still with it is the same Hardware but if you can resist the design and the cute space use buy it.
The SlimeLine doesnt have a fan does it?? So if you play it for time and overheats then your ****ed I mean you payed so much for it and it overheats!!The_WestSider
Not really if you put the Slim in a cold or fresh site you don´t have any problems, make sure don´t cover the air pass. i be put my PS2 Slim play all night and day over 2 days in some GT4 events that requiered 24h for finish, and i make 3 of this events on those days and not flame appear over my PS.
This may sound weird, but I find it quite hard putting a CD inside the slim PStwo console; I think it is quite inconvenient. I take very much care of my CD games, making sure I do not get any scratches on them. It just seems to me that the CDs can get more easily scratched with the top loading PStwo(slim) console. Does anyone agree with me?
This may sound a little dumb, but does anyone have any tips in putting the CD in the best way? Will the CDs “click” into place easier over time maybe?
i love my slim ps2...so light so small...easy for taking some where....and the load times are a bit faster...graphics a bit smoother..i love it sucks i have no use for my network adapter tho...i had it before i bought the new ps2..when i had the bigger one...and i sold my old one..so i have no use for it atm
