New Slim PS2, Problems? Options

[Mike]

I'm gonna buy a PS2 just for GT4... I was gonna buy a slim one since it has a network adapter already built in, but I heard there are reliability issues with the new slim PS2.. Can anyone confirm this??

I really need to know because I'm buying this week

i would definitely go for the new slim ps2. a couple of my friends have it and they have no problems. ive had my origional ps2 for about 4 years and haven't had a problem yet. so its up to you. i heard PS3 is in the works, so im holding off on getting the new slim line.

I want a slim one for GT4 as well. But...that's all I want it for so I don't know if I wanna drop 200ish bucks for one game.

i heard that the slim PS2s overheat within like 3 hours of playtime. not sure but thats what i have heard.

Nothing could be worse then the "disc read error." problem with the older ones. The bull**** thing was sony denied any problem

My friend has on in his RSX and has had no problems with it.

I have it ........... its awesome.

No problems what so ever. One thing you have to do is update the new networking software if you have the old one. The software is included.

Its so frikken small. I love it

BTW I have my deposit for gt4, I'm dying to play that sh!t

heres the deal with the new psII. They had a problem manufacturing them. i.e. they were lighting on fire. This is the reason they had so few for the holiday season. You shouldent have any problem with any ps2 made after the pre xmass madness.

I've had mine for 3 months give or take and it's been working like a dream. I think once after playing all day right after christmas it may have overheated, but it could have been somethin else.

i have it..its great no problems i leave it on its side on top of a cotton dog bed and has no over heat problems...cant wait until GT4 had a deposit sinc elike oct. 1st or something like that

When the hell is gt4 coming out anyway?
is there any reliable guess?
I'm gonna buy the ps2 with the game the day it comes out

I just started getting that error Monday on my old PS2. I disassembled it and put it back together and it seems to be working fine. The thing is that I didnt do anything to it. I hope it holds up.
