Sony has added a new color to the PS2 this holiday season. This new color will directly compete with the XBox 360 and folks will be so blinded by the tinsel-ness of it all that they will turn from MS and pick up a PS2 instead. Ahem. The new slim model PS2 in Satin Silver, SCPH-75000 SSS will be available on November 23 and will include a Dual Shock 2 and vertical stand—both in satin silver—as well as AV cables and an AC adapter. Sounds good to me, but there’s one slight problem: Turns out this new model has most of the same functionality as your standard PS2, but has problems running some PS2 games and older PlayStation titles. Poop.
