    I don't know about you, but I keep my PS2 in a safe place and don't throw it around all the time, and I don't try to pick it up when it's running.

    Accidents happen. I often take my PS2 when I visit somebody, especially if I'll be staying there for a few days.

    I never got burnt by touching a slim PS2.

    The only issue with it is that it can't play games that require the hard drive. I only know of one game that requires the hard drive, and that's FFXI. It does have a fan, but it is much more quiet than the fan used in the old PS2. It also has a network adapter built-in, making it simpler to play a few games online.

    It's lasted a hell of a lot longer than my regular one, and it doesn't make noises like it's about to take off or explode. I also saved twenty quid on an ethernet adaptor.

    My PS2 is chunky and ugly looking. However, it's never been too loud, and has never caused me problems.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    ive got the small PS2, and as far as i know you can play the same types of games on it as you can on a regular PS2, and also ive never had a problem with over heating or anything.

    Well if you read the thread, you've just had a bunch of people tell you it doesn't.

    Yeah, getting a little hot and overheating are two different things.

    I have had mine for over 2 years now and I like it a LOT better than the original. It's light, makes less noise, more attractive. There is no power switch in the back!

    If you sit it on top of a hot TV and use it for hours at a time without turning off, you'll get performance issues.

    I don't think it's a problem if you give it decent ventilation. Aside from the HD support missing, you're not getting hurt on too much.
