I have to say I'm dissappointed. It looks like the just squashed the layout in CAD and said "Ok, now fit the guts in"

The not-centered DVD drive is a minus as well. Although note the built-in LAN and PSone-style power jack. And I bet it's a flip top lid, too.

What do you all think as for this thing's portable prospects? Sound off!

yeah, it looks bad, but it looks like it already has a slimmed down dvd drive, and that's a plus, also, it seems like the heatsink's size has decreased quite a bit.
Also, remember that the bottom recessed area probably contains the psu and the hdd rack like the ps2, so the console itself is pretty thin.

Oh how I wish they would re-position the dvd drive though

wait, I was just checking out some pictures, and I think I saw the eject switch on the front of it..I guess that doesn't remove the possibility of it being a flip-top loader though.

Looks cool maybe now you could make a smaller PS2p?!

I'd personally buy one and try to portablize it but I have no money.

I think its alright but they should have made it a dofferent color like silver or some thing. Now i like sony and all but they always come out with stuff thats smaller and better after you have the original i mean its kind of annoying. But i like the design.

Well reading one (of the many) articals posted it mentioned that the PStwo will be released Novermber, it gave a specific date but I cant remember the number. It also suprised me that their releasing them in Europe, Japan and US at the same time, or very close together.

Thanks a lot!! that site has pics of the mobo and everything so I can start designing a new ps2p!!

Oh yeah, and I love the fact that they're putting a blue-laser dvd drive in it, but that might increase the power usage

err.....wait, I meant to put this in the other pstwo topic.... oh yeah, and from what I've heard, the actuall name isn't going to be the pstwo (thank god!)

Well as Gannon is getting confused I think we need to consolide the 2 or 3 topics that are going and turn them into just 1.

Post by **gannon** » Wed Sep 22, 2004 5:40 pm

lol, no, I just went to comment and clicked on the wrong topic :p
Also, I wish I could just move all the posts to the other thread, that way there'd only be one, but I can't...

Why not just close th others with a link to this one or the two in the 128bit fourm. That way I (like other) dont have to read the same topic two, three times in two fourms.
