Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Smaller, quieter, built-in network port and IR receiver

Weaknesses: No support for hard drive, new multi-tap required, external power adapter

Summary: This is a great improvement over the previous version in terms of size and design. It really is the size of a DVD case and that makes it much more portable (I take it on long business trips). Much of the reduction of size and noise is from removing the dc transformer outide the unit - it now has a power brick. I wouldn't rush out and buy one if you have a working PS2 unless you want it for traveling because I haven't noticed and changes in perfromance, etc. A couple of disadvantages are that the hard drive is not compatable with this unit and the old multitap doesn't work anymore because the arrangement of the controller and memory card have changed.

Strengths: Cool slim design, good price, built-in DVD player

Weaknesses: None

Summary: With the cool slim design and low price, I can not resist it. This slim PS2 system is the first vedio game system I have purchased. I am totally satisfied with it. It is fast and quiet. It also has a built-in DVD player. I hope that the DVD player remote control was included. It does not have built-in hard drive, but I do not need it. It is a must buy for yourself or as a gift. Highly recommended.
