I can tell you I went through two Ps2s pretty fast, but I played them a lot. They're pretty ty consoles and break when you sneeze on them, but other times that's not true. My brother, for instance, has had his since the day they came out and it still works, all while treating it badly. It seems kind of random to me. I think the slim ones were supposed to be more durable and 44% more sexually attractive.

You could probly buy a used one and get away with it as long as it's still in decently good shape. But new ones are only like, what, 130 these days? The next batch of systems won't be coming for a while yet, so you might want to get a new one if you'll have it for a good amount of time. You don't want to buy it and then get the dreaded "click-click-click Can't read disc" situation.
