Playstation 2 drops weight, doesn’t drop in price

Sony is releasing another revision to the Playstation 2 on November 22. The new SCPH-90000 PS2s have the AC adapter built into the unit and they are 12% lighter than the previous slim model. So you save some clutter and exert less effort when lifting it, but the revised Playstation 2 isn’t any lighter on the wallet. In Japan, it's 16,000 yen ($140) for the SCPH-90000 model or any other slim PS2. There really is no need to “upgrade”, even the colors are the recycled. Sony has previously released slim PS2s in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver.
