I recently upgraded my PS2 fat into a PS2 slim for about $10 and loved the space that I now have on my entertainment center lol. I noticed a serious increase in video and sound quality just by upgrading the system and it is still running on an old R/F. Are there any other noticeable differences that the slim has compared to the old fat model? I also plan on upgrading to component cables shortly, R/F really blows lol |

There's really no difference except the size. Virtually and performance wise, they are the same. Although based from experience, the slim is prone to overheating... |

Slim and fat differences? The slim actually works. The Fat PS2s have a horrible failure rating. I had 2 of them die within weeks of each other. Bad luck? May be, but many of my friends also had dead Fat PS2s all for the same reason. Disc Read Errors. I then stopped buying PS2s. Slims came around. I decided to give Sony 1 last chance with the PS2. I've had it since then. No problems. Slims are far superior to the Fats. |

Hmmm well I have another input to add to this. I HAD a working slim PS2. I nudge it since the a/v cable got pulled and now it won't spin any games. I find it complete bull that my PS2 won't spin any games just because it was nudged when it was on :/ |

I noticed the difference being that one of them was fat and the other was slim ![]() Hahha, I've disassembled my slim PS2 a bit, the worm spindle needed some TLC, and my AR kit had kinda fallen apart, obstructing certain disc movements. It's an interesting bit of kit
