Manufacturer description
For collectors, this is what makes it particularly special. Finding a PlayStation 2 Slim that was officially refurbished by Sony and remains sealed after all these years is increasingly difficult. This is not your typical used or refurbished PlayStation 2.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored NEW Sony PlayStation 2 Slim PS2 Console SCPH-77001 Black NTSC RARE… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Sony's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
