What were his systems doing? Well, for starters, it turned off by it self, and the AC/DC cord was left intact, The Disc Slot got stuck and he had 2 apply pressure that it almost got broken.

Well, mine works alright. It gets a little warm but not suprising after 5 hour long Tekken 5 sessions :wink: One think that annoys me slightly is that the slimline model doesn't have the switch on the back that turns the console from standby mode to completely off, so you have to unplug the console to turn it completely off :x kinda annoying.

Bear in mind that the actual boards inside those NES games are only about half the size of the case ;) Actually, thinking about it, you can get the NES itself on a single chip these days.

Tell me about it! Ha! I think the funniest is the size of DS games... now THAT's small, especially with such large games on them. Yeah, the games inside the carts of the NES are pretty small. Since I've been cleaning all my carts by taking them apart, so far the biggest board I've ran across is the SOROM-02 that was used for Nobunaga's Ambition. It's over half the size of the cart itself... I was actually surprised. About the Sandwich, I luckily haven't had the problems that your friend has had, Javi. I haven't heard many horror stories of the new one's yet (present issue excluded), so I feel pretty safe right now ;)

The only real complaint I ever hear about the PS2 Sandwhich is that it simply "get's hot". I don't see how this can be an extreme problem (surely it can't get any hotter than what my notebook P.C. gets). The lack of a "power off" button seems a rather minor qualm as well, considering that you would still have a system that actually "works" when you put a disc in it. I haven't really heard/read anything about major "disc read errors" on the slimline PS2 model. It may have taken Sony about 3 years, but I think they finally fixed the problem.

The lack off a power off button isn't really a "problem" and the "warm" thing isn't (as Z.E.N said) an extreme probelm, it's just gets hotter than the original. But anyway, like Z.E.N, haven't read/heard about major disc read errors for it. The end.

I think MC kids took up the whole Cartridge with the chips, the programmer said they could barely fit all of the Stuff into the Cart. Biggest cart I think I've seen is Bandit Kings of Ancient China. It's a heavy Famcom cart in a casing about the size of an EA Genesis game.

I know Im all late in saying this... but the ps2 slimline rocks! I got one too and never has it over heated and it takes up NO space. and when you got the big 'ol NES on a shelf you need all the room you can get. (much love to my NES roots though)

Since I've never seen up close the new slim line PS2 what happened to all those USB things they have in the front of the old PS2's? Did they take them away completely? I know I never use them but if they took them completely away in my brain I'd somehow rationalize that they were trying to rip me off! :(

Well for Christmas I have recieved my first ps2 and its the slim model. I have to say that Im enjoying it quite a bit. Ive heard alot of problems with model one ps2's and glad I didnt get that one. Ive played on them at a buds house and what not and it seems they have disk read errors. So glad I got the "sandwitch system". I recommend getting capcom classics collection. I played some final fight and gunsmoke on it the otherday as well as street fighter II world warrior and hyper fighting. GREAT COLLECTION. ALL PERFECT ARCADE PORTS!

They should have kept the blue on the front/top on the new model. I think it looked cooler. The external transformer is good if you ever try to operate it off batteries, but I doubt you'll find one that can both last long and supply at least 5 amps.
As for Javi's stuck disk comments, are you sure it wasn't the disc itself? If so, the model two also has a mechanism to keep the disk from spinning freely when it's turned off or opened. Make sure the game runs before assuming it's defective.
