Don't get the new playstation2 it is awful.
the reason it is so slim is because unlike an ordinary console, or a pc, it does not have a fan to cool internal components.
Thus it has a tendency to overheat and blow up, apparently.
I personally would not swap my old ps2 for one of the slim ones, the best buy is a mint condition later version of the original ps2, with the quieter fan. Guide price £80-90
Possible warranty issues with these consoles might include if the warranty is with the retailer in the canaries or sony spain or something???
Personally think you should buy a pre owned one from a reputable games store here in the uk i.e game, or gamestation (or whoever like that is local to you), at least then you have a warranty (usually about 3 months) and there is no issues with this if anything goes wrong.
Game have them second hand for about £89.99 i think.
Hope this helpsthings arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then
