Sony PS2 (SCPH-70000)

Juniper Foo | Sep 22, 2004

It's official. The PS2 has re-emerged, after an extreme makeover, looking babeliciously svelte at half its weight and a quarter its size. But unless you're a hardcore Sonyphile, the PS2 SCPH-70000 (which may be codenamed PStwo) suffers some fallout. Word is some software, including Final Fantasy XI, won't be compatible with the new unit. And gamers in Singapore won't be able to tap the new console's integrated network innards. Sony, in its rollout of the PS2 Online Network Gaming, seems to have missed out that little red dot on its world dominance map. Guess it's back to Xbox Live for those who want to game online.
