Slim or Fat?

[Boxcar 182]

Which Playstation 2 do you have? I have a new slimline model. I traded my Fat one for a slim line model, and I love it.

[Wes]

I still have the fat one. I see no reason to trade it in for a slim model.

[Boxcar 182]

Well my fat model was loud and annoying so my friend said he'd rather have a loud one than one that gets very hot so, we traded.

[Joseph]

There is no option for both?

[Boxcar 182]

I didn't think people would have both. Do you?

[Joseph]

Yes.. I do. It is basiclaly the same concept as having a phat ds and a ds lite.

[lovebattery]

I hear load times on the slimline suck.
Do they still get awful disk read errors?
I'm gonna stick with my chubby ps2 cuz I know how to take it apart to clean and adjust the lens. I don't wanna have to relearn the ropes on a new model of the system.
Plus, fat PS2 is old-school.

The load times I think are basically the same.

I have a fat one and it has been working for over five years now.

[lovebattery]

yeah mine's been working for about 5 or 6 years too.
i just need to pull it open and tweak it all a little every so often
and clean out all the cat hair... -_-

[Hanzo]

I have the obese one.

[lovebattery]

You're so politically correct.

LoL how does cat hair get in it?

[lovebattery]

Open up your ps2 and see how much of your own hair's in it.
Trust me, it gets in there.

[Boxcar 182]

Well I have a slim line one so I don't know how or want to open it :D.

1. Ps2's are not that loud and I don't see why it would bother you in the first place.

2. If it did bother you the sounds from the game would practically mask the sounds from the ps2.

I love my ps2. It's not fat, it's just husky.

[PiRatE.]

I bought my PS2 on launch day, and I've never had a problem with it. I have a network adapter, so there is no reason for me to upgrade. Also, does the slim one take a HDD?

[biggsy]

I have a slim one!

[Mark8137]

i have both of them, slimline and fat, i mostly use my slimline one though

[Wes]

Also, does the slim one take a HDD?


I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure is doesn't.

[Pyramid Head]

my big one broke so i got a slim one

[LilGrim]

I've had the Fat PS2 since launch, and it works fine.

[Nitrus]

Never had a fat one... just got a slim one.. doesn't overheat as much as the fat one... and its portable...

[-CJJB-]

I prefer slim.Its way sexier

[Joystick]

Had my phat one for over 5 years now, and it may not read CD's... But it still works. So I have no reason to trade it in.

[Nero]

i dont see the ponit in the slim one if you can put a hdd in the big one and we all know why you wanna do that

[PiRatE.]

YUP...

Small Version = No HDD = lame.

[Alpha2]

The Slim one dosent use the HDD but there's a case mod that will allow you to make a Slim into a Fat so that you can. Too much work IMO though. I've had the fat system since launch, only problem was the DRE errors and sony fixed that for me free because it was a launch system. I also got both my FF11 HDD and my Modem/Broadband adapter for free by being a PSU/GAP member. HDD also lets you play imports without a mod chip... SEXY.

[Knightmare]

I have the PS2 Fat, because its "Large and In Charge" and don't take any crap from that slutty anorexic Slimline PS2

[cuffless_remz]

ive got a fat one. ive had it since the day it came out in the uk. its never had any problems and ive only ever got disk read error around 3 times. ive never had to open it up or anything

comedy genius

[Vin'Omen]

Slim. got it when they came out since i didnt previously have one.

[Auron2120]

I have the fat one as well. Who cares how it looks as long as it works well. I've had mine since the launch of it.
