[gamegirl79]

We can only hope that this smaller model will look better than it's big brother. :o

[Ed Oscuro]

Well, they must know what they're doing. I'll have to see this updated machine before I'll comment on its asthetics, but I will say that a machine with a "more reliable" connotation would be great for SCE.

[Lady Jaye]

It suits me very, very fine. You see, I have still to get a PS2, even though I'm starting to have a nice little library of games. And a smaller console is always good news for me. If only it could mimic the form factor of the PSOne, that'd be ideal.

[Ed Oscuro]

Now, that's actually what I'm afraid of. I don't like the look of the PSOne much...the original design kicks it in the seat of the pants. Same with many other consoles (NES comes to mind).

[tritium]

It's being assumed by Analysts that PSTwo will be released, but Sony hasn't said anything yet

We'll have to see. Sony held the psOne until the ps2 came out, or just about.

QUOTE:

Industry watchers say there have been some shortages of the PS2 in the United States in the past several months, stoking speculation that Sony was deliberately clearing shelf space for the new game machine.

"The rumor mill will start to grind and very often what comes up is that if there are really no production issues it is likely that Sony is clearing the channel for a new product," said a Tokyo-based game analyst.

I've been saying THAT for months now. :roll:

[Lady Jaye]

I know that we pretty much no longer carry the PS2. Which wouldn't make sense if the PSTwo wasn't coming out. After all, you don't stop carrying a product months before the release of its next version!!!

[GarrettCRW]

Naturally, since I finally plunked down for the thing in July (which assures that it'll look nice and/or have some flaw allowing one to easily play imports or something).

[classicb]

I wonder how many features the PStwo will loose in its size reduction. I really doubt Sony will make it compatible with the online adaptor or hardrive but who knows.

[Pantechnicon]

I really liked the PSOne. The PSOne doesn't have the same air of apology about it compared to other "leaner, meaner" console re-designs. Let's see if Sony show the same pride in the Two.

Though, in a certain context, Famicom AV sounds less than apologetic-"You wanted AV outputs? Fine, here's your stinkin' outputs!"

[Porkchop]

Does this mean they will discount the few remaining Play Station 2's still out there?

There are a few non-network ones in my local Target.

Sure you do..makes everyone froth for it :D

[Aussie2B]

If it's not any cheaper, what the hell is the point? :/ I want a CHEAPER PS2, not a smaller one.

[Leo_A]

Don't think the PSOne was sold cheaper than a traditional Playstation.

They will be both Playstation 2's, what sense is there to make the new one cheaper than the remaining stock of the old model?

[classicb]

The next price drop for the the Playstion2/PStwo will be around mid January. One more holiday rush at $150 and I can see Sony dropping the price to $99

[Aussie2B]

Well, I do remember one thing, and that's that the PSX was $99 BEFORE the PSOne came out. Quite awhile before, if memory serves. It's ridiculous that Sony can keep the price so high for long and the consumers STILL dish out the money. Well, I'm one consumer that ain't biting. :/

[Iron Draggon]

Well if they finally fix the infamous "disk read error" problem that I've heard so much about, I'm all for it. But I agree, what the fuck is the point if it's not gonna be any cheaper? Traditionally, redesigns of consoles have ALWAYS debuted for less than the last pice drop. And the damn thing needs to be $99 to compete with the GC, and force MS to drop the XBOX to $99 too. If all 3 next-gen consoles were only $99 each, I'd be getting all 3 for Christmas.

My #1 concern now would be what will this mean for imports? I'm alot more interested in some of the imports for it than I am in the domestics, and so far I've been planning to go with the fliptop as my modding option for it. A redesign will force a new fliptop, if that's to remain an option, and makes me question whether the current fliptops will still be available after the redesign.

So now I'm gonna be forced to hurry up and make up my mind. I like the current design, and don't like the redesign on the PS1 very much either. Also, if they do the same thing they did when they redesigned the PS1, they will be furthering their attempts to thwart the import market, and the current model is enough of a pain in the ass to get it to play imports without installing a MOD chip. That's why I was gonna go with the fliptop, much less hassle and no possibility of my MOD chip becoming incompatible with future games. Chipping is too expensive to have to repeat the process again later.

So I'm still sitting on the fence for one now, but I'm definitely getting one sooner or later. I already have one import game for it, and I'm planning to buy a few more soon. So eventually, I'm gonna have to have a way to play all of those games! That's one thing that I like about DP, nobody here thinks that it's crazy to buy games for a system that you don't even own yet. I have always done that, and all my friends always thought that I was nuts!

[Nez]

Who needs one. Other then the poor folks whos PS2s died.

I dont think theyll keep the fire wire port, or what ever that is. And will pry drop a usb port, or the digital port in the back. Thats my guess.

[Aussie2B]

And the damn thing needs to be $99 to compete with the GC, and force MS to drop the XBOX to $99 too.

That's where the problem lies. It DOESN'T need a price drop to compete. Regardless of its price, it's still whooping the competition (especially GameCube, the cheapest of the three). They KNOW that they can keep the price the same and people will keep buying, so they're just trying to squeeze the most money out of people as they possibly can.

It's sort of this kind of situation: If you're consistently selling some product on eBay for $100, would you go and start listing them for $50 Buy It Now? Of course not, it's not logical. I just hope this industry balances out eventually like in the SNES/Genesis days. Sony is moving closer and closer to being a monopoly. :/

[Fuyukaze]

While I dont have much to say about how cool or bad the PS2 mini may be, I do have a few questions maybe others could help me with on it.

When did sony first begin working on this? Last system I knew of had bombed in Japan.

Wasnt the PSX the PS2 remake that had all the features like Tevo, built in HD, and such? Wasnt THAT the system that recently tanked so bad in Japan that they decided not to release it in North America? As I remember, it featured things like Tivo, 40/80gig HD for both d/l content and TV recordings, an inferred sensor for the DVD controler, and a few other changes. The prices were something like $600 for the base and nearly $1000 for the larger HD version. I list what the US curency prices at the time over the yen as I cant remember the prices listed at launch.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

The 26th is the day after my birthday. 8-) I already have a PS2, but I can tell that it is SLOWLY becoming close to my first DRE. I will get this under the following conditions. It will still play DVD's (I'm sure it will because most [all?] new ps2 games are DVD). It will have network/hdd capabilites. If it dosn't blow.

That is all.

[whoisKeel]

i think the PSX recoreded dvds faster than anything on the market as well...but i'm not sure


but, i've been waiting for a smaller, cheaper ps2 for awhile now. i'm not buying one at $150 either.

[Crush Crawfish]

ARRRRGHHHH!!!!! I just bought a new PS2 to replace my broken one last month!!! I have the worst timing. :angry:

[Iron Draggon]

I thought that the PSX was the same thing as the original Playstation, just another name for it. You mean that it's actually another system in Japan?

When I said that the new PS2 needs to be $99 to compete with the GC, I meant that they would sell a shitload more of them to people like me who still haven't bought one yet, and probably won't until it is only $99. This would be a wise move for them because it would prevent them from losing all the potential customers who are only getting a GC because it's only $99, and those are the same types of people who probably won't buy another system again, after they've already made a commitment to one. That's why. They've already made a killing on it, they need to lighten up on the greed.

[Lady Jaye]

The PSX (the console, not the project name) was the deluxe PS2 released in Japan. Aside from the regular PS2 features, it also had a PVR (Tivo-style recorder), an internal hard drive and a DVD burner. When it launched last year, it was sold between $700 and $900 depending on hard drive size.

http://geartest.com/sections/games/psx.html

It was supposed to see a North American and European launch this holiday season, but lukewarm response in Japan pushed the release date to sometime in 2005.

[farfel]

Now, that's actually what I'm afraid of. I don't like the look of the PSOne much...the original design kicks it in the seat of the pants.
PS1 looks gay compared to PSone - too square. Only thing I hate is thePSone's white. Doesn't match my black tv, vcr, stereo setup.

[Querjek]

I hope that it's still HDD compatible as I would like to get a more reliable PS2 to use but still be able to use my HD Loader :evil:

How'd you like to have that job? I know I would :D


BTW, I'm waiting for a price drop before I pick up a PS2, two, whatever.

Huh? Since when was "square" ... LOL

Nope, I'm sticking to my guns (figuratively speaking). PSOne looks like something eggs should come in. I don't hate it, but I don't like it, either.

Besides, could you imagine what a blue/black-gray Net Yarouze PSOne shell would look like?

I'd better not try to...might die laughing. LOL

by that standard the Game Cube is gayest design ever. being a cube in all

[kai123]

Who cares about the ps2? I want a smaller Xbox!!! :)

[SoulBlazer]

Yeah, but the XBox kinda HAS to be that size, cause of the hard drive and the video card and the fans and other stuff. The PS2 has a TON of wasted space -- half of the bottom is empty due to it being the HD slot. I imagine the PStwo will have no HD slot. That would allow it to shrink big time right there. :)

[Blackjax]

...except that would make the officially released HDD outdated.

Usage by developers aside, I highly doubt that Sony would eliminate support for an official accessory, especially since this would be designed by Sony of Japan - and the Japanese games have more support for the HDD.

[Ed Oscuro]

They could always make like Nintendo, and re-release the HDD, too :P

[Fuyukaze]

Thanks for the help clearing up the info on the PSX L.Jaye! Its been some time sense I read about it so I couldnt remember all the details.


I went ahead an bought a PS2 after the price drop to 150$. At the time I had games I realy wanted to play and games I wanted to buy but refused to untill I could try the first games in the series (.hack). Was it worth it? Not realy as I'm having more fun with my DC these days. Ah well, hindsight is 20/20 they say.

http://geartest.com/images/top_sony_psx.jpg

A little more clearing up :D

PSX- The original tag name /code name for the PlayStation. After release, system abreviations stayed at PSX for quite a long time well up and after the PSOne release.
PlayStation- The boxy original release unit, nicknamed the PSX or PS.
PSOne- The redesign of the PlayStation all nice and small using things developed for the PS2, to make the PSOne smaller, faster ect.
PSX- The aformentioned Tivo-esque system by Lady Jaye.

With the bug issues that the PSX had in Japan not to mention the fact that it shipped with less options than it was suppose to have on it (burning discs, and a few others) and being forced by Sony to basically download them as they released them turned off alot of consumers. When these launched at xmas 03 they were suppose to get a worldwide launch. Now coming onto a year later, these have sold horribly in Japan and with still no definite date for a NA or European release, its looking less and less likely that these will be sold.

Now about the PSTwo, its nothing new that there was going to be a planned version of this. Problem with this article is that this (as mentioned above) is that this is trade analysis speculation about the units release. At no point has Sony mentioned a scaling down of the unit, and I dont think that they will until something comes more in line with the PS3 launch. Id look to E3 05' when Sony debuts some basic info there to see them sneak out some idea about the PSTwo. The re-release of the PlayStation as the PSOne helped keep the system viable for Sony for an additional two years, not to mention boosted sales up incredibly.

IMO, we've still got at least another year of the Bigger PS2 before its "Sleek and Sexy" redesign happens, based primarily on Sony's actions with its last shrinking project.

[classic gamer]

Have'nt seen the pictures yet in this thread so here are some

http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=20183

Looks like it still has 2 controllers ports, 2 memory card slots, 2 USB slots, and maybe an IR receiver on the front lower right. Looks like there's a new stand for those who like it upright. Same A/V input port looks like the digital audio port is still there and NOW and integrated Ethernet port!. The article states also a built-in modem but I don't see it. Also I don't see where the HDD would go but I suppose they could release an external USB HDD, although I'm sure that would be very expensive.

On a side note, does anyone buy the stuff about the current multitap not working with the new unit due to "design differences"? Sony milks the public yet again.

[robotriot]

Actually the Xbox could be downsized quite easily, if they'd use laptop components. I mean, the PC hardware used in the Xbox is kind of outdated by now, and see how small & flat modern laptops are. They could use 2.5" HDD etc, only the DVD drive should stay the current size, as laptop DVD trays get damaged easily. Also, a more compact design would make modding more difficult I guess.

[alexkidd2000]

haha the new ps2 looks so lame. i am glad i bought an original model..

Oh, that just tears it. I knew I'd like the design of the new PS2. :angry:

However, speaking as a retail employee (read: Target), is Sony really going to stick that bitty little thing in a regular PS2 box like the pictures suggest?

[kainemaxwell]

I like the new design. By the pictures the dual shock looks bigger then the unit itself! LOL

[Lady Jaye]

I like the "stunning new look" title in the press release! Stunning as in I'm shocked it still looks like a PS2? Yes. Stunning as in gorgeous? Nope. LOL

[Icarus Moonsight]

I'll buy one If Sony cans the stupid tray loading design and reverts back to a flip top. They could axe the HDD, Network/Modem, DVD player and many other bells and whistles in the mini to condense the unit. Actually I wish they would, as long as they revise the anti-aliasing and revert to a flipper I'd be effin ecstatic!

Besides Mini's are ultra-sexxy!!! **swoons**

[Icarus Moonsight]

Just looked at the pics @ worthplaying.
YUCK! :puke:
I wonder what design flaw Sony will invent to sell (and resell when they break) these nasty-ass things!
No flipper - super thin BUT huge ass footprint - unless you want to perch it upright precariously on that dumb looking disk-pedistal thingy.
No thanks I'll pass.
At least they didn't mess up the PSOne Mini.
**goes to bed to dream of the GC mini**

[ianoid]

Why shrink it down? Well, because it's cheaper. There is no point doing anything unless it makes more money, or positions a corporation to make more money in the future. They aren't shrinking for charity.

Funny how they have the same design foundation.

Anyway, this isn't to appeal to old owners, it's to appeal to new PS2 buyers, future buyers, and price drops.

As well, Sony Electronics are not built to last forever. Why would anyone replace them if they were? We'd all still be walking around with Walkmans and first gen Sony portable CD players. Maybe not, but Sony Electronics are rather disposable. Not Emerson, mind you, but close.

[kevincure]

"PS/X" was a Japanese codename for the original SNES CD addon, but I'm told by people at Sony that no one at Sony America calls or called it that. It got picked up by the media from Japan, though, and there you are.

As to the redesign, Kutaragi's "big idea" in console design is to design the internals in such a way that the number of chips can be easily reduced as chip plant accuracy increases. The launch PS1 had 750 parts, which was down to 450 parts by 1998, and fewer still by the PSone. This allows systems to be built quicker, cheaper and with fewer problems.

I think the new "mini PS2" is fantastic, and I don't doubt that, for the reasons mentioned above, it will be much more durable. Huge footprint? The basic PS2 is small already as far as home electronics go (compare it to a Saturn or XBox), and this looks about half the size.

[kevincure]

Btw, did you notice that the press release said 72 million PS2's had been shipped worldwide? The PS1 is the worldwide home console sales leader with ~ 101 million. It would be quite a feat if Sony managed to follow up the PS1's dominance with an even better selling product.

(Then again, the competition is weaker this round - I'd imagine Sony's market share is about the same in the US as it was in the PS1/SS/64 round, while in Japan Sony is far more dominant (neither GC or XB are selling as well as the SS). I'm not sure about Euro sales figures, but I believe that in total sales, it's Sony's biggest region in both generations).

[SegaAges]

I still need to get a psOne. The price finally dropped to like $30 for a new one. They still sell at stores around me. I know they want to drop the price to 9.99 for me, I can feel it. It would be cool if now that they are doing this, they dropped the price of the remaining psOne+lcd Screen Combos. Those still sell at stores around here for like 100-150 (ouch).

[youruglyclone]

On a side note, does anyone buy the stuff about the current multitap not working with the new unit due to "design differences"? Sony milks the public yet again.

so you're going to complain about a $30 multitap when the new model has a ethernet port built in...which will save you the $50 bucks that you'll have to pay to buy the network adapter.

honestly how many of us actually have multi-taps? well I do...but still I think the new ps2 from a aesthetic point of view will be awesome whether or not it'll fix the problems of older models...I'll wait and see

but damn sony's got my money

[Dangerboy]

O_O

OKay...I seriously thought the pics NCSX had were a joke / mock up until I came here...

And um...

WTF is that?

When the PSone came out, it had a true updated, snazzy look to it, same general shape idea, just refined. Especially with the LCD screen, it just looks pimp.

The PStwo looks like somebody sat on a PS2. Literally.

How thin is that CD tray? I don't see a hole anywhere that it could come out of...and the ps2 strip on top looks stupid.

If they're plotting some secret PS2 LCD with it, I can understand but...ugh.

And sadly, when it hits cheap enough, I'll buy it.

They need a modern console that looks as cool as the Turbo Duo.

[Hep038]

I still have my release day PS2 that is working fine. But I like the look of this unit and because it has built in network adapter, I will be buying one. I was hoping for something a little more jazzy, but over all I like it. I hope Bill Gates is watching and does a Xbox mini.

[Blackjax]

:angry: :angry: :angry:

Well, that's the official end of the HDD. Not to mention dial-up on the network adaptor. ...and the multitap doesn't work?

I'm surprised they didn't change the game format too :angry: :angry: :angry:

I totally thought those pics were a joke too. It looks like someones photoshop work on an old ps2. this is the lamest "redesign" ever. someone mentioned this isn't aimed at people who already have a ps2. wouldn't make for a bigger buying audience if they got new people and people who already have a ps2 too buy it. I wonder how long it took the design team to come up with this new design.

I officially predict that the ps3 will have only 2 controller ports and you will have to buy a new multitap.

[goatdan]

I kind of like it, but it just looks too thin. In the pictures, you can see that even the PSOne is bigger than it...

On top of that, the flip lid idea thing makes it really odd. You can't put the unit on it's side any more (or if you do, you need to clear out space by it to flip open the top) and you need to have a bigger space to put it on it's side. With my current stereo components, my PSOne is small enough to stick off to the side of my TV (as would be my Gamecube, if I ever get myself one ;) ) and my Xbox is the top item in my stereo stack that has no room above it. This redesign of the PS2 couldn't fit anywhere with my stuff, and it would be better for me to get an original PS2 and put it on it's side where my PSOne is currently.

Very odd, and disappointing. Then again, I wasn't planning on getting one of these in the near future, so I guess I'll just continue to not plan on getting one for time being. Maybe if they drop the price and I can get a used old model one...

[downfall]

EDIT

Nevermind! Someone else did in fact post that pic!

[SoulBlazer]

See? SEE?

What did I TELL you guys? :D

Take out the HD, the extra ports and options, shrink it down to the BARE BONES needed to be able to play PS1/PS2 games.

I love it when I'm right. :P

[Ed Oscuro]

It looks like a Turbo Duo!

*Runs like hell*

[Dangerboy]

Flip Top Lid? O_O

Do I hear import gamers and creative thinkers already salivating at the possible modding / disc swapping possibilities? Could I finally play my Underworld JP PS2 game without a damn tray grab or hardware mutilation?

Flip Top Lid = +3 to looking closer to a duo.

Let me see Gates of Thunder PS2 Edition, and remove that damn strip thing, and I'll reconsider :D

[Ed Oscuro]

Hey, there you go.

Would be hillarious if we saw Castlevania Chronicles 2 on the system as well ;P

[Mr•X]

I might buy it...My old one crapped out on me tonight....

-X

[Jasoco]

Until the price drops to $at MOST $100, more likely $50, and I find a comfortable controller, I won't buy one, but the new design does tempt me. The only games I'm interested in are Jak and Sly and maybe some DDR (That WILL work, right?) and EyeToy for Niche stuff.

Anyone know if this one will have that extra Power switch on the back? What was that for on the original? Think they could have made it so it no longer needs it?

Also, I hate the box and the lid looks really really flimsy like it'll break right off way too easily. REALLY easily.

Who would have thought a PS2 could be made smaller than the Cube?

Now, all we need is a Modable Xbox Mini and I'll be happy. (The Cube needs no smaller design. it can't get much smaller than it is. That's why I love it.)

I'm not a fan of the black lined look of the PS2, but I'm used to it since my Game Switchers are all the same kind of design, so I can get used to it...

At $50 I'd get one just to play my PS1 games. Or I can just use my PSX. (PS1) IMHO, the original PSX is only worth it for Bubble Bobble and the DOOM ports. Maybe Builders Block and some other puzzles.

[-hellvin-]

This new PsTwo will forever change how you view the future of sony gaming.

[Ed Oscuro]

IMHO, the original PSX is only worth it for Bubble Bobble and the DOOM ports. Maybe Builders Block and some other puzzles.
God! Stop ogling poor Natalie and rejoin humanity, man! LOL

I must admit that the nice new design has me excited. Sony taking design cues from NEC? Count me in!

Plus I'm a sucker for lids as opposed to trays. Neither's bad, though.

[Jasoco]

IMHO, the original PSX is only worth it for Bubble Bobble and the DOOM ports. Maybe Builders Block and some other puzzles.
God! Stop ogling poor Natalie and rejoin humanity, man! LOLI stand by my post. There are hardly any games that really make me want to play a PSX. Maybe the Crash and Spyro games are good too. Actually, I love them, but they're so relatively expensive still used. (And Crash 1 only uses the D-Pad. I can NOT play that game with a D-Pad.) But that's it. (Most PSX games are garbage.. I know, I own a lot of them. Not "DangerBoy" lot, but a lot for me.

And I would love to play Jak and Sly. But as I said, I'm not ready to plunk down $200 for them all for the one reason I've mentioned many times.. Starts with a C. Ends with R and has an "ontrolle" in the middle.

[Leaves humanity again and goes back to ogling Natalie.]
