Sony has announced a new model of the Playstation 2 for release in Japan, which features an internal power supply and weighs less than the current slim-line model. Despite these changes, the unit will not receive a drastic cosmetic makeover, and will sell at the same price as the current PS2 (16,000 yen, or approximately $139.70 USD).

The new unit weighs 720 grams, down from the 820 grams the current model weighs (including its external AC adapter). The new(ish) PS2 will launch on November 22 in three colors, with peripherals to match, including a vertical stand (pictured with consoles) for 1,500 yen (approx. $13). No word yet on releases outside of Japan, although it seems likely that the new units will eventually make their way to other regions.

Yep, we've had our white ones in stock for a week and haven't sold a single one. But people buy SingStar....
 
I agree, Retro, the white one looks awesome to me. The first time I sold a silver one I went "Wow it's ugly!" out loud, right in front of the customer. There's really no way to recover from saying a system is ugly by saying "I mean, ah, I was surprised? I'm used to black?" :lol
 
I literally don't see a difference............someone please post a pic of the third PS2 so I definitly know what it looks like.
