    God love the Japanese and their love of making things constantly smaller. They are cheating a little with the external psu but it's still very very small.

    The PSP looks a good bit smaller in that picture. Its still big but it must have been the small asian girls because it looked huge in the pictures posted in the last thread.

    I really liked what the did with the redesigned PSone.

    But I've never liked the PS2 design, and making it smaller doesn't really help, other than making it a slightly smaller eye sore.

    With the PSU outside it should be quieter. Which is a good thing, as my PS2 is far too noisey...

    But its a bloody flip to so it will still need that same clearance as the PS2 needs.

    As well as the external PSU, it's not upgradeable with an internal HDD.

    Looks very nice, I'll probably get one once everyone starts going nuts over the next generation consoles and these drop in price.

    Beats the Gamecube in terms of cuteness. Looks like we have a new champion.

    well, maybe it's real, maybe not! I would call them before buying! and would pay only by paypal! if something happens, ebay has a protection! so you would get at least some of your money back!

    looks real TBH

    Are you talking about last week? If so, it's only been a week, I'd give it another week before I start to panic.


    I'm thinking about getting a PS2 now, this slimline one looks great, and I really want San Andreas.. only problem is I would have liked to put a hard drive in it, I guess that's not completely impossible? At best I imagine I can have the internal hard drive.. external.. which won't exactly look great. I was hoping to get HDAdvance and a new HDD etc, now I'm thinking I'll just have to get the PS2 and a mod chip (which I imagine will be twice as hard to install now) 'cos I really want to be able to play backups.

    Ahh decisions..
