Anyone have the new PS2 yet?
I'm thinking about getting a PS2, but I'm wondering whether it would be better to get an old style (possibly used, but probably new) or one of the newer ones. Before they were out, I was sure the new one would be what I would want - it's smaller, faster, lighter, and much nicer looking. And it has built in ethernet support. Who cares if it doesn't have a hard drive? I won't be playing any MMORPGs on it anyway.
However. Many people are now saying that it has severe issues. The one I hear most often is overheating, but many people say that's not actually a problem. Others vaguely reference "compatibility issues" or other non-specific problems, but I'm inclined to ignore those complaints, seeing as they give no evidence.
So who here has one? Or who has played one? Any problems? Would it be worth it to get? Should I just get an X-Box instead?
Note: if you give a fanboy response, you will be added to my ignore list and I won't bother to read what you say. I want discussion, not flaming. Thanks.
