Five days ago we reported that the PSTwo was about to become even lighter (read here), and today Japan's Nikkei Business Daily has confirmed such an occurrence. Sony has begun shipping a new PSTwo model which drops in weight from 900 to 600 grams with the AC adapter also being cut in terms of weight, coming in at 250 grams as opposed to 350 previously. The paper indicates the weight loss was achieved via a reduction in the number of parts as well as a general drop in the cost of production.

Damn, I was just gonna report this
I'm looking forward to seeing what this baby is gonna look like.
Interesting, good news for those who don't already have a PSTwo I guess... but I would think everyone who wants one would have one by this stage.
So what, are we talking $100 for a ps2? After playing Guitar Hero II, I might just get a ps2 so I can play the God of War and Guitar Hero series... I don't want to spend $500+ dollars just yet on the next gen.
I'm guessing the new PSTwo will be priced at $99.99. We know that Sony has some strategy with the system and christmas, so we'll just have to wait and see.
It will be just like the PSone, that I have, the tiny tiny one.
If my conversions are correct. This new PSTwo will weigh in at 1.323 pounds.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this baby is gonna look like.
They already said that it looks the same, just 33% lighter
It should be technologically a better system too. I mean when you have less parts in any piece of tech they generally run better without issue. For anyone wanting a PS2 or for someone looking to replace a broken one...I think this will be a good deal.
def. a good deal. i'll pick one up for my bro since his PS2 is busted.
im in...for GH, Okami, and God of war mostly
