Sony Slim Playstation 2 Console with Controller
Started Aug 2, 2005
Strengths: Sleek Design, Ultra Quiet, Compact and good price. Has all the features of the larger Playstaion 2 (backwards compatibility with Playstation One Games, Built-in DVD player) at half the size.
Weaknesses: None (except the lack of support for HDD (hard drive)which only a couple games support and for the majority of gameplayers this is a non-issue.)
I like this model better than the bulky model that was released orginally. For those with a limited amount of space this model is ideal and is slightly larger than a DVD case. I noticed an improvement in this model in that it is VERY quiet. There is a built-in fan but you can barely hear it. I noticed slightly faster load times as well (though not as such a big difference that is very noticable). In addition, due to better parts installed in this system (such as lasers) the chance of getting a DRE (dics read error) is reduced signifigantly. Overall, I highly recommend this model--it looks very cool, saves space, is very quiet and can perform all the functions the larger model can do at half the size.
