New Japanese PS2 — Now Jenny Craig Approved

As we all know, smaller is better — and Sony Japan is on that bandwagon.

They have confirmed plans to release a redesigned PlayStation 2.

It’s going to drop in weight from the current hefty 850 grams to the more svelte 720 grams. Not only is it losing some of its heft, but also the AC adapter is moving inside the system, replacing the external one on current slim models.

This new sleeker PS2 will go on sale in Japan on December 22. Those lucky people can purchase it in three colors, Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver. Sadly, it’ll still be the same price (¥16,000).

An official release of this new model outside of Japan? There is no official word yet, but I imagine that it’ll roll out worldwide eventually.
