After a few days of intense speculation, Sony has confirmed the wide-held suspicions about the remodelled PS2: which has not yet been officially dubbed PSTwo (and judging by pictures of the box, perhaps it won’t be). It’s smaller and lighter and pretty much what had been expected.

 

In the words of David Reeves, president of SCEE, "We did it for Playstation and now this time for PlayStation 2. This totally redesigned, network ready model will demonstrate that PlayStation has once again the design flair and innovation that has made PlayStation the world's best loved and most successful games console."

 

Apart from the general liposuction; there have also been nips and tucks of a more functional variety. The network port has been built in which, on the downside, means that there’ll be no room for any additional HDD. Somewhat shamefully, there are also still only two controller ports. Although Sony has made the old multitap device obsolete in the redesign, it hasn’t made any compensation for that: in fact, an additional purchase of a multitap Mk II will be required to indulge in 4 player frolics on the PSTwo.

 

Another notable alteration is that the PSTwo uses a top-loading disc mechanism rather than a sliding tray. Although this does economise on space, it’s a slightly surprising move as that could potentially allow for pirated games to be played with the use of boot-discs. There is the distinct possibility, however, that Sony has addressed this issue elsewhere in the design.

 

The PSTwo will be lanched in Europe and the US on 1st November, following in Japan a couple of days later. The cost? A quite reasonable 149 Euros, which is around the £100 mark. If you’re in the market for a new Playstation 2, it’s sure to be a tempting offer.
