More video-game hardware in less space. My medication is obviously not working because I'm still talking to myself. Marveling at the redesigned PlayStation 2's jaw-droppingly slender form factor for about 10 minutes straight, I caught myself actually saying "Wow" out loud, even though I was alone. It's comparable in size to a paperback book, but it reminds me more of a portable DVD player, sans screen, in black.Read more

An old favourite gets a slimline revamp, and with a gargantuan catalogue of stonking games, who are we to dismiss it?

A review of the Sony Playstation 2. I will talk about the design, features and my opinions of it. I love the Ps2 but I do like the Original Xbox more just because I am a fan of Halo. The Ps2 slim was better for portability, not like the Xbox that weighed a tonne and was the size of a PC. Thanks for looking!
