I think if my old PS2 dies out then I will buy this one for sure. It is cool too because of its slim design and it does not have that annoying tray.

Wow!!!This new PS2 model rules...
I guess I'll buy it too if my PS2 dies...and if I can use my modchips of course...
Since it has Flip Top casing it might be easier to load backups with swap tricks! :D

WAIT! Flip top? I like the tray much better. I hate that I can't put anything on top of my PS1 or Dreamcast. But it would be nice to have a smaller version of the PS2. I think it's far too big. Just like XBOX.

No. The PSTwo is just a smaller version (second generation or further) of the PS2. Like the PSone was a smaller version of the original PlayStation.
