Is it really that big a deal that they're bringing the console out again in a smaller package? True, the onboard ethernet is a great idea, but why make it so small that the HDD won't work?

IMHO, the HDD isn't an integral component to PS2's sales. There aren't that many games that utilize the HDD currently, and although some of the higher profile titles promise downloadable content in the future (e.g. Gran Turismo 4), not everyone who presently owns a PS2, nor prospective future owners, are likely to shell out a bundle for this.
I prefer the tray loading mechanism over the top loader, but besides that minor qualm, the slimmer size would allow me to replace my existing model and have it share shelf space with my planned DENON DVD player; it's also more portable (should fit in my laptop case, which makes it handy for business trips). Although the lack of a HDD slot is a downside, I think the positives outweigh the negatives. |
