Apart from the obvious, Colour & the price

And a different lazer head/drive

the silver one comes with 2 pads instead of the obligatory one, also it has an infra red port on the front, a new remote was released for it which allowed for the tray to be opened and closed, as well as the normal playback features.....

sAs Kronas said they have a new remote which allows them to "on,off & reset console aswell as the benefit of the eject button" ( not really needed since you have to go up to console to change disc anyway LOL.Power button on remote well appreciated!

Also the console now has a quieter cooling fan just like the xbox and a inbuilt infra-red reciver so you don't have to keep pulling out game controller ports. Lastly the console now has added ability to play DVD-R & DVD-RW discs. By the way since you re gettting the "satin silver" version you can also get the official DVD remote in satin silver now aswell!

forgot to mention, you can also get the silver memory cards, instead of having a black one

whats the point of having a nice, sleek, sliver ps2 set up and then having it wack a ugly black network adbapter onto it?

ntl7 · 19-08-2004, 21:53

I think there is a silver network adapter in Japan, none the less the adapter goes at the back so you can't really tell as long as you have a good & expensive TV stand!!!!!

Damien · 19-08-2004, 22:00

my tv stand is all black so a black xbox/ps2 is ideal anyway.

is the newer one noticible better? does it really make less noise?

Anyway what happened to your old one? you didnt make much sense...

I briefly had a ps2 when they came out....

It wouldn't play more than 5 of my dvd's I had at the time, it was REALLY noisy.....

I was looking at the box for the new version today and it says it's quiet - and plays dvd-r/rw and dvd+r/rw....

If this is true I may get one - as I could do with a backup dvd player as well as something that will play ps1 games

It does play dvd-r/rw & dvd+r/rw's, the box is telling the truth
