Are they the smaller, redesigned versions of those consoles?

If so, it's kind of a wash. The PS2 might wind up a little bigger and need more battery power, but it can play its predecessor's library and function as a portable DVD player.

Look on the bottom of each of those, there are different revisions of the ps1 and ps2 that are different sizes internally. You're looking for a SCPH-xxxx number.

I'd go with the PS1, as the scph-9001 ps1 is really small inside, whereas the scph-70012 ps2 isn't the smallest ps2 (the smallest ps2 is the scph-90000 with integrated power brick).
