PS2 Technical Specification



The Original PlayStation 2 was a pretty large beast when you compare it to the newer 'slimline' version. This new version has it's internal volume reduced by 75% which has resulted in the weight being halved. The PlayStation width has been reduced from 7.8cm to a meer 2.8cm.

With these reductions in size and weight, the PlayStation 2 is now very portable, so you can enjoy your Games and DVD's at anytime in any place. The new Slimline version now comes with an integrated Ethernet port and modem for online gameplay.
