PlayStation 2 Slim: An improved version of the gaming giant’s best selling console, this model serves to perpetuate its PS2 legacy. The PS2 Slim, released in 2004 had all the power of its predecessor but presented it with a slimmer and more elegant design. As thin as a hard-back book and lighter than its predecessor, it struck the right balance between performance and portability. The addition of an integrated Ethernet port represented a great improvement. Players were thrust into the era of online games in one step. Although smaller in size, it didn’t cut any corners: with its library of games numbering more than 10,000 titles and promising hours upon end of play! Today, however, the PS2 Slim is remembered for more than its technological accomplishment. Deeper and richer are the memories it helped to create-and these make our heroes cherish this machine as a true icon amidst all of gaming’s vast dynamic universe.
