RE: Later "revised" PlayStation console hardware

[MaximumRD | 25]

PlayStation - was anyone else impressed with the later revised consoles? I mean, I know they would follow a few years later after many revisions and better implementation, reduction of the chipset etc. basically, improved technology and yet I was pretty impressed with the smaller original PlayStation but man, with the mini slim version of the PlayStation 2? I couldn’t believe how tiny that thing was!

Personally, I wasn't that impressed with the PS2 slim considering that most of the reduction was removing the empty space for the hard drive and moving the AC adapter outside of the console (of course that's just at first, they eventually moved it back in).  

 

EDIT:  I want to clarify that I wasn't impressed with the size reduction for the reasons stated above.  I think the styling of the PS2 slim looks good despite the fact that I still prefer the original.

Around the time when the ps2 launched I couldn't find one in store and ended up getting the slim psone bundle instead (the one that came with the lcd screen). I thought that setup was super cool for the time.

I definitely agree that a PSOne with attached LCD screen is beautiful.  I have one sitting 20 inches from me on my work desk as I type this and I use it to this day to test PS1 games or any other time I'm playing PS1 outside of my primary setup.
