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?

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!

Cheers

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.

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

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!!

You can chip it? My friend just went to the market and he asked the guys that chip/fix ps2 and xbox that they haven't got any chips for it yet. I'm considering buying one but after this thread Im not sure.

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.

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.

2 Rismo u spot on!

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 :D

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
