Looks like they have the connection still so you can hook up the hdd. I wonder how you'd go about doing though, because in the original PS2 the hdd go inside this time it will just have to hang out.

Those are nice board pics, and if I didn't know better, I'd say that the black thing below the AV jack is a 7805 chip...

I wouldn't be surprised. I know that the current ps2 uses 12V, 8V, and 5V for the entire board, but they might have been able to reduce it to only 5V, although that's unlikely and it might just be for playstation games.

Then again, it might be true with the advances towards the psp.

To prevent confusion and to try and keep things more organized, I locked the other pstwo thread, it can be seen here.

Also, I was checking out that website again, and although the heatsink is smaller, it seems like they positioned a fan right above the processor.

The other forum is locked. Hey gannon, you said that the original ps2 has 12v, 8v, and 5v spots on the board but the new ps2 only takes 8.5v!! So the whole new ps2 might only take 5v...

Hey gannon I saw you said(in the other topic) that you heard it wasnt going to be called the PSTwo. While I cant say that I have heard anything for sure(because I havent) I do know that Sony has registered the trademark and copyright to the term PSTwo.

I can't seem to find it anymore, but I remember reading an article on the ps(two) earlier today, and it mentioned that the name was not going to be the pstwo. Also, if you look at all the images, it says PS2 on the side, not pstwo

Yep heres a quote from Gamespot

today Sony unveiled a radically redesigned version of the device. It was, however, not named the "PStwo" as many had expected. "The new version will go by the same name as the old version," a Sony representative told GameSpot.

Now thats just plan lazy not finding a way to incorperate the hdd into the new design. Iw ould have expaceted at the every least plans for an addapter sot he hdd would sit on the top (the the dvd cover). Instead they just brusj it off as something miner?! They're obviously not interested in pleasing the game community their truing to build.
