However the New Slim Silver Models have more issues with playing PlayStation games than the first PS2 revisions.
The PlayStation 2 had a difficult start.
In September 2004 Sony unveiled the third major hardware revision (V12, model number SCPH-70000).
The PlayStation 2 was such a hot item after its release that it was near impossible to find one on retailer shelves, leaving those wanting a PlayStation 2 to either wait or purchase the console online at sites such as eBay, where the console was being sold by many people for twice and sometimes five times as much as the manufacturers listed price.
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.
The PS2 hardware can read both compact discs and DVDs.
V0 was a Japanese model and was never sold in Europe or the US.
