De acuerdo con MCV UK, Sony planea lanzar un nuevo modelo de PlayStation 2 que será más compacto y mucho más barato. Según la nota, el nuevo sistema costaría sólo 99 dólares y estaría en el mercado americano a principios del añlo 2008.

MCV can exclusively reveal that this ‘compact’ PS2 will hit the US at just $99 in the New Year – a reduction of $30 from its current selling price of $129.

If a similar percentage cut is introduced in the UK, retailers can expect to sell the revamped system for just £75 – or maybe lower.

The new version has a built-in power supply – unlike the current Slim model – allowing the platform holder to manufacture it more economically and sell it at the bargain price.
