get a ps2! the slim one is cheap! get that, it's won't break easily like some people say(maybe because it looks fragile)! i've been playing for long hours and its still ok! i even played burnt games! they say burnt games will destroy the lens but most of my games i play are burned and its still ok. and i doubt you will need the online feature anyways. ps2 is great even without it. get the slim one!
