I'm looking at buying a second hand PS2.
I have seen slimline and original. Is one better than the other, what's the difference mechanically between them? [othert than the obvious]

Anyone selling one close to Stockport?

Thanks

No idea, I am an xbox gal. But I know the nephews have one of each and to be honest, performance doesn't seem to be any different. But I am sure someone who knows better will put me right.

Google's your friend you know
What are the differences between the Sony PS2 and the slimline PS2?

what would scooby do

Is a platstation some kind of hairdressing accessory ?

The slimline PS2's are the ones to get. If you get an original that was built before a certain date, you won't be able to run some of the last games made such as granturismo 4. Seriously though, a PS2?

We bought a pink slimline for our daughter with about 10 games for £35.

My thoughts also.

Maybe its for his kids - i.e. doesn't require a top of the range console
He'll be able to get a decent playable console with a shed load of games for a fraction of the price of say a PS3

Never thought of that. I have an old xbox that is sitting in the box, would probably do for some little fellow/lass.

Been there you see.
My daughter (11) has my sons old xbox 360 and enjoys playing games on it
She even has his old game cube too which gets used also.

Didn't the 1st PS3's launched 2 years ago have the capability of playing PS2 games?

i have a ps3 but also have a sega dreamcast if you can remeber those, had some friends round the other week and asked the kids if they would like to have a go on it i could'nt believe they wer'nt interested because it was as old as them
