Original PS2's... not slim

[Skelaratus]

Its probably valid. Seems like this site wants to unload all of the older versions to make room for the new slim PS2's. Here is what I have always done, with every video game system since Collecovision (ok maybe I am showing my age there). I always buy a nice brand new one (in box and all instrcutions, etc), then I always manage to pick up one from a pawn shop. When one goes bad, I have another (usually at half the price). This has allowed me to always seem to have spare fans, boards, lasers, etc. In the case of these new crappy Slim PS2's, I have V7 Playstation that I got for Christmas a few years back and I have a version 9 I picked up from the pawn shop. I also have 2 X-boxs, 3 PS1's, a couple N64, 2 Game Cubes,.....the list can go on and on, so I will kick it old school. I even have a couple original NES, and I even found some old Atari 5600 and Atari 7800 at a garage sale. They have no wires to go with so I am currently searching for those. The point is, I always make sure I have ample older models before the manufactores go and "upgrade" their product. If anything, these are probably Version 9's or 10's on the site.

It is a bit odd because they never even had ps2's on there before.Seems like a Christmas special. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

Very tempting, but i only have the money for a CC not for a whole new ps2 and CC.

Yeah money is always an issue... for me anyway. Thats why its an Apple Pro instead of Infinity. Great chip though.
I actually ofund my last ps2 used through Google groups. Always another option. Was lucky and found a V7.

Hmm, I'm having second thoughts now because the filename for the image they have displayed reads: "415006304-h_s_scph-30001_e-1"

Could these be version 1-4? Or maybe the website is just using an old image... ?

EDIT: Turns out they are version 3. I sent an email:

versioin 3

Its not hard, its stupid, I know alot of sites that rip people off. For one it says 'Refurbished' which basically means its a used console that worked when last checked. Also, they want a $139 . It says on there site its guaranteed to work so as long as it loads a game your stuck with it. It could be a v3 that sits at the browser screen 45 seconds before it loads. Before i would pay $139.00 on a used piece of crap i may as well as spend 10 more dollars and get a crappy new slim PStwo. At least it will have a 30 day warranty.
