The Playstation 2 Slimline (SL) is a newer design of the Playstation. Although the Slimline is smaller it still has the same capabilities as the old PS2.
The PS2 SLplays every single PS2 game that you could think of and still has the ability to play PS1 games aswell.
It is much smaller than the old PS2 which means it is easier to place in any room in the house without taking up a ridiculous amount of room. As well as being smaller it is more power efficient and gives off less heat which means it can be placed in a confined space without fear of it overheating.
Just like the original PS2 the SL can be placed either horizontally or vertically and comes with a vertical stand. The stand is detachable so that if you simply want to sit it in between a wall and a cupboard then you can do so.
The PS2 SL still has the same online capabilities that the original PS2 had and if anything the online actually works better.
The noise output is a world of difference. The PS2 SL hardly makes any sound at all compared to the Original which makes playing much more enjoyable as you can actually hear the game.
Graphics have been enhanced on the SL therefore making gameplay much more realistic and fun.
I have had My PS2 SL for around 6 years now and it has been the most reliable console i have ever bought. I would highly recommend this console to anyone who is thinking of purchasing a PS2 and definately over the Original.
