When the Slim burns out in a year and a half, you'll have wished you had bought a phat one.
Just saying.
Funny that you say that.
I had a fat PS2 for about a year, almost two. It eventually broke and scratched up my CDs because the CDs didn't stay in place when they were spinning.
Then I got a slim PS2 and I've had that for about 2 almost 3 years. Yea, no problems with it.
I FAIL AT FAILING.
