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

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
