Default Upgraded PS2?

[ I was just on Best Buy.com and they had under their weekly ad an advertisement for the Limited Edition PS2 which comes with a 300 Mhz processor, I'm sure the OG PS2 ain't 300 Mhz. What was it and does anybody know how to tell the difference? ]

Yes it was:fawk: Better then the other threads.

So is there a way to tell if you have the 200 or 300 Mhz PS2?

Cause I recently swapped out my old PS2 at Best Buy for a new one. :rick:

i think thats the one with the built in IR Receiver for the DVD remote and updated the DVD drivers for the PS2. A quieter fan...and....i forget whatelse...

I think they call it the "PS2 PLUS" because there is a yellow plus on the blue box.

it HAS to be the same...


not only would that screw the timing up in a lot of games, DVD playback depends on a proper microprocessor frequency to work properly... Somewhere in the field of 92-94 Mhz... Whatever the clock speed of the PS2 is is also 3 times the speed of the DVD player spec speed.

Here is the ad, it makes it sound like the CPU speed was upgraded

It does... but the mention nothing else about the product Stupid Best Buy. I bet it's one of the 1st gen's they had laying around and are trying to lay off as "limited edition"

I checked Game Stop's website, and they have no mention of it... and I'm too lazy to check out what IGN says...
