[edit] Integrated PS2 in Sony KDL-22PX300

Sony's recently (Dec 2010) released a 22-inch BRAVIA with a PS2 integrated into it. It should be listed as a model variant. sale site here

It seems to be a UK only model. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.206.34 (talk) 22:46, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I've been meaning to add that myself for a while now, but I'm not quite sure how. Beyond "It's a TV with an integrated PS2" I haven't hear much, so I'm not really sure what to say about it beyond that. Alphathon™ (talk) 22:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] SCPH-9000x in PAL Region

Was the SCPH-9000x model of the PlayStation 2 slim released in Australasia and Europe or was it just released in North America and Japan? -- PK2 (talk) 20:34, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

If memory serves, I think it was released in mainland Europe (i.e. not the UK or Eire… possibly other places too). Not a clue about Aus. Alphathon™ (talk) 21:57, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

It was actually released in all regions... certainly Australia/New Zealand as the SCPH-90002, and the UK and the Republic of Ireland as the SCPH-90003. 86.183.201.133 (talk) 22:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

[edit] Hardware revisions as versions (V#)

Exactly how much space should be devoted to what is essentially something invented by modchip vendors? This information is poorly sourced, and will probably remain so forever, and I don't see how its inclusion in the article is necessary. ButOnMethItIs (talk)

The article also completely skips over the fat "+" models (aka V9/V10/V11 or SCPH-5000x) which actually had changes that was advertised and noticable by end users (quieter fan, officially supports DVD movies on "+RW" discs, built in IR eye, i400 removed). It also says "expansion bay of current PS2 models" while the expansion bay was actually removed in V12 (7000x) and later. 83.233.143.154 (talk) 18:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
