Apart from the obvious, Colour & the price :)

It'll be a different version pcb board
And a different lazer head/drive

[kronas]

the silver one comes with 2 pads instead of the obligatory one, also it has an infra red port on the front, a new remote was released for it which allowed for the tray to be opened and closed, as well as the normal playback features.....

[ntl7]

sAs Kronas said they have a new remote which allows them to "on,off & reset console aswell as the benefit of the eject button" ( not really needed since you have to go up to console to change disc anyway LOL.Power button on remote well appreciated!

Also the console now has a quieter cooling fan just like the xbox and a inbuilt infra-red reciver so you don't have to keep pulling out game controller ports. Lastly the console now has added ability to play DVD-R & DVD-RW discs. By the way since you re gettting the "satin silver" version you can also get the official DVD remote in satin silver now aswell!

thanks all

[kronas]

forgot to mention, you can also get the silver memory cards, instead of having a black one :spin:

You can also buy a Official Silver Stand (http://www.kanection.co.uk/product.php/378/0/) :shocked:

whats the point of having a nice, sleek, sliver ps2 set up and then having it wack a ugly black network adbapter onto it?

[ntl7]

I think there is a silver network adapter in Japan, none the less the adapter goes at the back so you can't really tell as long as you have a good & expensive TV stand!!!!!

[Damien]

my tv stand is all black so a black xbox/ps2 is ideal anyway.

[Damien]

is the newer one noticible better? does it really make less noise?

Anyway what happened to your old one? you didnt make much sense...

I briefly had a ps2 when they came out....

It wouldn't play more than 5 of my dvd's I had at the time, it was REALLY noisy.....

I was looking at the box for the new version today and it says it's quiet - and plays dvd-r/rw and dvd+r/rw....

If this is true I may get one - as I could do with a backup dvd player as well as something that will play ps1 games :)

It does play dvd-r/rw & dvd+r/rw's, the box is telling the truth

Guess the only choice now is which one to get - silver or black :)

[Damien]

well i was thinking of replacing my old one as i use it a lot. the disk drive make clicking noises, its years old and is full of dust annd i use it for dvds a lot so a quiter, inbulity IR would be cool

Surely that depends on the (brown) goods around it, black or silver telly?

I bought a Silver PS2 today (http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showpost.php?p=283922&postcount=12) after doing some hefty frog marching around on my launch break this afternoon. I have owned a black PS2 before thought i'd go for a colour change.

[Damien]

is it noticibly better?

[DrAwesome]

is it noticibly better?

It is noticeably quieter & the drive tray doesnt seem to retract with the ferocity of a snap turtle.

[Damien]

does it still speak to you at night telling you to pick up a woodchooper and purefy the non-belivers?

[peacedude2k4]

okay well my lady friend is saying lets get the black one as it would match more of the stuff we have, has the black one same improvements or is it still clunky noisey and very annoying on grand theft auto with clucky clicky all way through game :mad:

[Damien]

same improvements, exact same inside as the sliver just the colour is diffrent

[Nemesis]

Black game cube
Wasn't that an old gaming console .... ;)

[peacedude2k4]

same improvements, exact same inside as the sliver just the colour is diffrent
:tu: thanks

[Damien]

my ps2 makes clicking sounds and whirrs a lot, is it dying?

[peacedude2k4]

Well my old one, which i used to play Grand Theft Auto Vice City alot clunked alot and in that game it reads disk alot and it was irritating to me listening to clunk clink clunk clink all the time.


Hope the new ones are quieter

[ntl7]

Many people say that the DVD drive doesn't open with a Turtle clunk anymore and the fans are "noticeabley" quiter so I guess its all you need!

[dilli-theclaw]

I get paid on the 5th - I'm still deciding on the colour :)

I should be able to choose by then :)

[peacedude2k4]

Right choice made not ticked about colour, i am getting a new ps2


few things

1) does the drive when running a game such as need for speed underground or Grand Theft Auto Vice City clunk clunk clunk away or is it smoother.

2) do they have infa red

3) will they make coffee and hoover room when im drunk and spill peanuts all over floor?

oK oK optimisitc on last one

This is great news...

I only have to wait 'till the 5th to get mine :)

I bought the official ps2 magazine and demo disc today - so I have to buy one now :)

[ntl7]

Perhaps you should try the xbox?

Surely that depends on quite how drunk you are..........;)
