Live in Japan? Get out that big red magic marker. November 22nd sees the arrival of a redesigned PS2 (SCPH-90000). While rumored to retail for under US $100, the redesigned PS2 will sell for ¥16,000 (US $140) and comes in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver. The system has apparently been completely overhauled and features an built-in AC adaptator. It's internally powered! While the size is the same as the current PS2, the new one weighs slightly less. There's a special stand peripheral that is going on sale as well for 1,600 ($!4). All this is Japan-Only at the moment, but look forward to the inevitable Western launch. Hopefully at a lower price point!

Yeah, it's basically a PlayStation 2 Slim with a built in power supply and weighs slightly less. But, I have to say if they can price it right in the United States *Cough$99Cough* and release it in Ceramic White here without bundling it and putting a nasty silkscreen on it, I might buy one.

I should also point out from looking at this, http://www.threespeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/newps2.jpg (http://www.threespeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/newps2.jpg), picture it appears that Sony has put a disc tray back onto this model.

YAH YA SHOULD

If I didn't already have a slim PS2, I would get it. 

If they sold it for 100 here.

PS- Sorry for bumping old thread.  This board is slow.
