prae Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 slimline. just like the psone to the ps1. if u know what i mean. wow(the jb like shop) has then in their catalog for preorder i think Ahh yep, basically the PStwo is just a hold off until sony's official release of the PS3 (whenever that will be..) Went to Target/EB/K-mart down here in vic and all of the older model (read: chunky) PS2's were taken off the shelves and the PStwo's were put in their place.. Wonder if the $294 for console + free platinum game still applies to the PStwo?

ABuSD Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Yes they can be chipped but DONT buy one, they are all pretty much faulty. Sony really f*cked up on this one. The parts are all different inside, cheaper versions. If u dont beleive me ask Sony why they are only giving 3 months warranty!! Be warned fellas!

ABuSD Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Dead set honest here. Unless u wait for a new model to come out. Im pretty sure Sony will fix and put better parts in the next model. Because im pretty sure they are going to get the pants sued off them for selling an inferior product. These are alot worse than the PS1.

Jolinator Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 surely it cant be any worse than the ps2?, man ive had 3 they are a heap of crap, over 9 revisions and they still couldnt get it right, dead lazers, la chips etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/54245-sonys-new-pstwo/#findComment-1084116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iopia Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 As an employee of a Playstation retailer i can tell you they have 12 months warranty and having played with the internals of the bigger versions you can see how easy it is to make them more compact mainly moving to an external power supply and a top loading disk tray. Also the external power supply makes it easy for direct DC installations into a car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/54245-sonys-new-pstwo/#findComment-1084296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rismo Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 They have 12 months warranty but watch the huge increase in warranty claims with this new unit. I guarantee it. They have phucked up badly on this model JUST like they did on the v.10 PS2. For some absolutely unknown reason, they feed a whole extra Volt to the laser control unit which fries, or the laser fries, or they BOTH fry. They have screwed the pooch big time with this, guys. DO NOT BUY ONE YET!! www.1tronic.com Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/54245-sonys-new-pstwo/#findComment-1084378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I am happy with my V.2 - been 2 1/2 years now, and still going strong .. chipped and all.. don't think you can install a hard drive in the new ps2 either.. which is a bummer, as that was a useful feature Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/54245-sonys-new-pstwo/#findComment-1084498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bax Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well my ps2 died on me, out of nowhere it happened, was making ordinary noises, rang Sony, 110 dollars they wanted, I sold it dead- to a mate, for an xbox (i added some cash), when he got it in the mail, it worked. So stuffs me whats going on there, but ever since I haven't been a fan.

2rismo Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Sony are offering 12 MONTHS WARRANTY ON THIS CONSOLE!! CAN YOU READ?!?!? jeez.... They can be chipped but you will find chippers avoiding them as they are a flaming dog turd and wont want to have to warrant Sony's phuckup.

ABuSD Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 2 Rismo u spot on! They have phucked up badly on this model JUST like they did on the v.10 PS2. For some absolutely unknown reason, they feed a whole extra Volt to the laser control unit which fries, or the laser fries, or they BOTH fry. I was told my a ho @ KMART that they only have 3 months, my bad. Id say wait till they release a new/better version of the smaller one. Ive got a custom purple series 1 so im not interested in the new one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/54245-sonys-new-pstwo/#findComment-1084878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
