Angry the Clown Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 ...to the UK at least, on the 13th of May at the rather expensive price of ?114.99. I think it looks a good deal more attractive in silver quite frankly: http://www.eurogamer.net/view_screenshot.php?filter=PS2ℑ=/assets/articles/a58848/Silver_PS2.jpg Eurogamer also says that a silver vertical stand, dualshock controller, Memory Card and EyeToy camera will also go on sale.

iainl Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 the rather expensive price of ?114.99. The report I read said that you'll be getting a second DualShock in the box, which makes the ?15 price hike perfectly reasonable, really. I can't justify a second PS2, though, just because this one is dinky and shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 That is a sexy beast. I like. Ditto. I've been wanting a PSTwo, so that I can mod my original one, but I'm going to show my ignorance by asking if this (release in the UK) means it's going to be PAL output?

iainl Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yes, the UK one will be a PAL machine (drat; I'd probably buy it if I could use it for Katamari Damacy). If we get it, I'd expect a US release too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'd probably buy it if I could use it for Katamari Damacy You and me both. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I was looking at these again today. It doesn't seem to come with a second DualShock sadly. It's ?109 at Amazon though which is not too bad, but ideally I'd like to get one early next year when they should be sub ?100 as I think it will compliment an imported PS3 nicely. I couldn't play my PAL PS2 games on a US PS3 so the PSTwos being so small and all would not cause a problem with space. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 It appears the silver models are vanishing. I'm preparing to order a pre-modified one but none who do the mod job have stock of the silver ones anymore, and I've noticed that trying to buy one a standard silver model from the likes of Amazon is just as difficult, so unless Sony replenish stock in February I'll be going for a modified baby black model (it includes a laser mod to stop it melting discs ).

iainl Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Personally, I think the black looks better than the silver in the flesh anyway, as the latter is rather plasticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Do you think so? I remember being in GAME last year and seeing the silver one in the flesh for the first time and it looked lovely, although it was in a glass case behind the counter some five feet away from me. The colour is not really life and death.... my import of Katamari Damacy has been getting dusty for far to long and needs some love so I really need to sell my PS2 and get a modified one soon. It'll cost me about ?154 for the chipped console and laser modification, and it's a mod that is good to run imported PS1 titles too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Not the cheapest way of playing it, but Katamari Damacy is worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Indeed. If I can get about ?40 for my existing PS2 I am not far off the price of buying a domestic PAL slimline model, so it works out ok for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Silver ones are cropping up again. One of the pre-modded dealers is listing them again. Still can’t decide which to go for next month, though I'm leaning more toward black if only because it’ll save me an extra ?10. Old model PS2s are still going for acceptable prices on eBay UK so I'm good to flog mine in order to help fund the new one. Wouldn't mind getting the job done before Shadow of the Colossus hits these shores (17th of Feb I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Your wish has been granted. I'll be picking one up for my all-silver HT setup. Only 17 months too late! I'm already in "save my pennies for a PS3 sometime next year" mode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
