![]() ![]() However, some say they have “cheaper” build quality. DVDs will also play at a higher quality (default res is 480p, not i). It’s fans are also much quieter than any prior revision. This allows the DVD remote to simultaneously do a lot more, while taking less space (controller spot isn’t occupied by a receiver). These consoles don’t have the IEEE 1394 anymore, but have included an integrated IR sensor. The other “good” revision of the fat PS2. They’re also well built, and it’s possible to swap in the fan from a 50001 into this revision. These systems upped laser and system reliability, at the cost of increased fan noise. Has the IEEE 1394, no integrated IR, etc. One of the two “ideal” fat revisions, and typically seen as the “best” by most. Power consumption was reduced compared to previous Japanese models. Japanese exclusive model with no US variant. Be careful with these and their varying reliability. ![]() Their one positive is high quality motherboards, which are surrounded by metal shielding. Lots of motherboard/chassis sub-revisions exist for this revision, and for the most part, they don’t really impact the user. Furthermore, they have pretty unreliable lasers that are prone to failing. These lack the ability to use the DVD remote without installing software onto the memory card. ![]() The launch revisions of the PS2 in the United States, with the IEEE 1394, no integrated IR, etc. The card adds network functionality, and a connector for a proprietary external HDD (SCPH-20400). These systems lack the expansion bay of later "fat" models, instead having a slot for a PCMCIA card (SCPH-10190). The original launch model of the PS2, exclusive to Japan. Typically the most reliable, with some variance across revisions. Quality and featureset varies by the revision. DVD drive + buttons, 2 memory card and controller slots, 2 USB ports, 1 IEEE 1394 port (earlier revisions), AV out, IR port (later revisions), and an expansion bay for the Network + HDD adapter. “PlayStation 2 (original)” (2000-2004)Ĭommonly referred to as the “fat”, these systems have the most concise set of features, compared to the Slim. Revisions are underneath their respective model. ![]()
