I really don't understand why Sony is releasing yet another iteration of their previous gen console. The current design - from all aspects - is just fine. I own a silver one, when I traded my big model years ago and as other people say on here, if you really don't own one, then get yourself a second hand one, rather than a new one. There's NOTHING new about this iteration at all. I'm sure no one cares about the PSU being inside or outside - it's just not that significant. Sony would NEVER contemplate releasing this new PS2 in time for Xmas, even if it's ready, because it will obviously dent the already poor PS3 sales and cause even more confusion in the market. But they should realise that their PlayStation fanbase is haemorrhaging towards the Wii or X360, while they pursue a pathetic strategy that's causing confusion and desperation amongst loyal fans. What do I mean by confusion? Well, just look at the SKUs for the PS3 and how badly that's been handled in the recent past; full backwards compatibility, some backwards compatibility, no backwards compatibility - classic! Let alone the now legendary carpet-from-under-early-adopter-being-pulled stunt of dropping the price so shockingly quickly after the UK launch. What do I mean by desperate? Well, there's a rush by consumers to buy the 60GB PS3 in the UK, because it's their 'last chance' to have backwards compatibility in the PS3, while the crippled 40GB model is being ignored; ask anyone in a GAME shop and you'll get the same answer. What of course consumers don't realise is the very fact that even the backwards compatibility for the 60GB model is no longer being supported, so really, it's all very tragic for PlayStation fans. Is this what Sony want? Desperation shown by fans to buy something that they want (60GB PS3 for the backwards compatibility), rather than what Sony thinks they should have (no backwards compatibility and another redesign for the PS2)? Price of the 'slimmer than slim' PS2? Who the F*CK CARES ANY MORE?!! I must agree with the comments made by “BENNE77″.

I paid 6000 SEK, which converts to $920 USD (!!) at today's rate, for just the ps3 60gb, not even a bundled game. And that was in 1st of August. Employee discount included, thanks to my friend. Do they think we're made of money, makes me sad. You were talking of Rip Off Britain, have you heard of Crazy Sweden then?

Japan gets it's ceramic white ps3 next week, and dualshock3. joypads on import anyone? :) i do like the look of these dinky ps2’s, when i first saw one i thought it was one of them chinese fake things. still have my trusty big black ps2 now fitted with a 7″ logitech screen. used mostly just as a CD player. i was offered 15 quid trade in on it so thought naw, better off keeping it.
