Manufacturer description
The Sony PlayStation 2 Slim PS2 Silver Console is a gaming system manufactured by Sony in August 2008. This specific console, with model number SCPH-90001 and serial number HU4437698, is no longer under warranty. With its sleek silver design, this PlayStation 2 Slim offers a compact and lightweight gaming experience for players to enjoy a variety of games on the Sony PlayStation 2 platform. This has played one game but the others I have tried don’t work on it. It struggles to read the disc. It powers on. Cords included.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Sony PlayStation 2 Slim PS2 Silver Console Gaming System SCPH-90001 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.

Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
