Personally, I prefer my "fat" PS2, I like a consile to have some substance to it, and besides my PS2 has been working perfectly for the past 4 years, and I only had to replace it cause my brother thought he would play it when he was drunk... and ended dropping it down the stairs.

oh yes games... maybe your should try the Disgaea series, Disgaea: The Hour of Darkness is my all time fave game on the PS2.
