Which PS2 version do you have? I got stuck with the fat one:mad: , i got it in teh early life of the ps2, and it worked fine, so i didn't think it was logical to get another one, just cause it was smaller. recently though, i saw how small this thing was, and HOLY CRAP! it was so small and light, it was about the same size as my hand!

I think what your reffering to is the PS2 and the PS2 SE. I have the slim version, its my second PS2 console. The first decided to crap out on me.

What I don't understand is why didn't Sony just release the slim PS2 the first time around? It would've saved most of us an extra $300. I've had three PS2s and they all died on me. Well, except the last one. I put it out of it's misery. Luckily, my older brother still had his and gave it to me. Yes, another fat one. He went out and bought the slim version, so he could put it in his car. Eventually, I traded off with him and now I'm using the slim one. He's suck with the fatty. I guess it doesn't matter though. We get an upgrade in November.

I don't own a Ps2, but I honestly dont' know what difference it makes. I'd buy the fat one just as soon as I'd buy the slim one.. Just because, the system is never going to leave my room.. Period. So it really makes no difference to me which system I have. Sure the smaller one saves more room, but I'm a big guy, so I like my toys big as well.

The slim one just looks cooler. Ther are basically the same system guts wise.
