During one week in November, sales in the entire country of Britain totalled 6,000 units - compared to 70,000 a few weeks prior.
This led to further shortages, and the issue was compounded in Britain when a Russian oil tanker became stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking a ship from China carrying PS2s bound for the UK.
Available in November 2004, it is smaller and thinner than the old version and includes a built-in Ethernet port.
A product named HD Connect can be soldered into the unit giving hard drive support though.
When it was released, the PS2 had many advanced features that were not present in other contemporary video game consoles, including its DVD capabilities and USB and IEEE 1394 expansion ports.
There are also some disputes on the numbering for this PS2 version, since there are actually two sub-versions of the SCPH-70000.
