Hi Guyz,

I'm knew this question been asked a lotz of times and i had tried searching through it but i cannot find complete answers.
May i know what is the difference in term of performance and compability? (just some general advantage and disadvantage will do)
From the info i gather, PS2 slim seems to get overheat easily compare to the fat one.. As PS2 fat no longer in production, i'm juz wondering if i buy an old 2nd PS2 Fat,
can it support the latest game (*ahem* version >"<) or do i need to take it for modding...

Please help me.. to buy slim or to buy fat.. Both prices are almost the same.. juz around 100++ differences

ahem ahem? you need this:



ps2 fat is better imo but nowadays no more new stock for this model... if u buy 2ndhand, sooner or later the lense will die..

get the slim, get the usb fan, and place a table fan beside it when playing,

wont so easy to overheat i guess...

what complete answer u want? regarding heat issue? almost so many times we discussed bout this.. huhu..

i got slim. no heat problem. i put on top of my speaker.. and the back is wall.. no good air circulation. hahaha... 2 years and counting. if xbox360.. sure terbakar rumah oredi.

ya correct, fat ps2 depend on luck... maybe u should prepare some money to change the lens if u buy 1
dun worry, i think all fat ps2 can play 'ahem' game larr, new game i not sure cos rarely play game now, but i guess is ok can play

for slim, my experience was it gets lag during cg when u play too long hours... dunno izzit overheat or what

So worry about the heating problem just go buy a laptop cooler and place ur slim ps2 on it

Why Slim?
- 64MB Ram (good for browsing internet, emulator play etc. More ram=better)
- cache faster loading
- lesser weight 33%, hand won't tired long hours play
- TV-out built in
- USB charging, while transfering file etc, you charge at the same time. Save time.
- looks better, cooler, sleek
- new
- Overall, whatever deficiency of FAT psp in design etc, is improve on the SLIM design

Go SLIM...

im pretty sure that the thread starter is asking for PS2

ya it's ps2, not psp
for me, i think ps2 very tahan lasak, play whole day also nvm hehehe

yay, go slim..

and i am waiting for PS3 slim too..

I got one fat ps2 before, the look and feel of it is definitely cooler than the slim one as a home console. But if you always on the move with PS2, better get the Slim, else try begging some shop owners which still keep fat ps2 as display unit to sell u at a jacked up prices, or search garage sales

I think the 2nd hand PS2 fat will not last long.......surely got many problems...get the slim one.....overheat..sure but get the USB fan...my PS2 slim 2 years and still working...or get the white version of PS2 slim.

I've been playing with my fatty PS2 for 5 years, still looking strong. xD

No point argueing anymore on Fat or slim! Since most u can get out there are Slim PS2! So why 'vs' anymore? Unless u want to buy old second ps2!

Don't mind if I ask...64MB RAM??
PS2 lah brother

i just bought 2nd hand ps2 fat. still working well and it depend on the owner before this. if u get lucky, maybe value for money.

mind if i ask how much u buy the ps2 fat? and what comes with it? thanks

its not the matter of argueing..cuz somehow some owners still prefer ps2 fat more than slim due to the heat problem..the one who post this topic just wanna know whether which one is better..for me i just bought a 2nd hand fat version from this forum..cuz i think the performance is better..overheat safety precaution..hehe

If repair the lens how much ar?
