New Slimline PS2 Compatibility Issues

Posted by Zonk on from the doomed-to-forget-the-past dept.

Gamasutra reports that a new iteration of the PS2 hardware experiences issues with certain games, both from this and the last generation. From the article: "The listed games will only be affected on new models of the system, starting with the Satin Silver slimline PS2, so far announced only for Japan. Whether the SCPH-75000 model will eventually be the standard for all production PS2s is unknown, but Sony advises those wanting a thinner system which can play the aforementioned games to get a 70000 or above."

    None of the listed errors are fatal, except for the Tekken 5 freeze (doesn't every system hang from time to time?); while they are annoying, this is certainly livable.

    Oh, wait, this is Sony? Those bastards! Selling broken products is wrong! We should sue them!

    So, some pathetic little shill for a company that has the most retarded backwards compatibility ever for a console in the Dreamcast 360 thinks he can talk shit?
