PS2... fat or thin?

Like the name says, which do you prefer, the old style PS2 with a nice weight to it or the skinney PS2... poll will follow shortly

I dunno. I have a fat one. It's less portable but if it was a skinny one it'd probably be broken by now with all of the times I've moved in the past year. They seem wispy.

I most certainly agree, it just feels... wrong, theres no other word I can think to describe the skinny PS2

Thin PS2's are just...wrong.

Thin PS2's look nice and all, but I heard they break a bit easier. I've had a fat one since FFX came out in Australia, and it has never had any problems (and I thrash it around a bit from moving so much).

I've gone through three fat PS2s and my slim PS2 still works fine. I hear that for some people this is the complete opposite. However, the community I live in has all had faulty fat PS2s and perfect slimlines. I don't know if it's coinsidence or area, but I'm definitely going with slim without a question.

I have a fat one and a slim one.
The fat one is almost 8 years old and some 2 years ago it started to refuse playing any new PS2 games.Now it plays only PS and first gen PS2 games.
The slim is almost 2 years old and plays as perfectly as the first day i bought it.

Ive got a fat one and it works fine, the slim ones do seem to break easier though.

Ive had three fat PS2's cause its the only thing Sony will replace when one gets disc read error. I generally dont care.

Fat Ps2 for me. HDD ftw.

My fat one broke. My thin has survived.

I like the thin ones better. While I know I had my fat ps2 for twice as long as my thin one. The thin one has proved to be far more reliable then my fat ps2 was at the same time.

If that makes any sense, I'm rambling....

The Slim PS2 needs to burn in hell. It just doesn't feel right.

The Slims heat up to fast compared to the other, and with my gaming streaks, I can't have that tiny thing frying out on me.

Hell, I've seriously overheated the fat one before.

I don't really care. I have the fat one, though, but that's only because I've had it for several years.

Fatplz

I've never even seen a slimline in the flesh.

fatsos ftw

My PS2 isn't fat! ;-;

I have the larger PS2, and it hasn't failed me yet. :)

I still have the old version since my PS2 is in good conditions. I prefer the slimmer model for its lighter weight and also less noise.

The slimline comes with an free in built Ethernet adapter making it possible to go online with games out of the box.

Hence it wins.

Personally, I prefer the skinny one. It seems to run everything like the day I bought it. I used to have a fat one, but traded it in when the skinny version came out. I didn't have any problems with the fat one, but I've seen plenty of others who have.

I worked for GameStop for a few years, and generally the problem I always came across was that fat PS2s were having a really hard time running newer games. I remember when God of War 2 came out, we were getting a ton of copies returned because the customers claimed they were "defective." Turns it, it was because each one of those people had the older models.

Regardless of the fat or skinny model, PS2 is still the sh*t imo.

I like small hardware, so of course I like the thin PS2 much, much more.
