  • A 2005 Holiday Look at the PS2 Slimline Console: Does Size Matter?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 17, 2005
    Pros: smaller, lighter, built in network adapter, same power and accessories
    Cons: no built in multitap, incompatible with a few ps1 games, no port for hard drive

    Summary: So I decided to upgrade. It wasn't so much that my old P S2 bit the dust. In fact if I still had it today, my assumption would be it would still be running strong. So why did I buy the slimline? Well, a few reasons ... read more
