Available in November 2004, it is smaller and thinner than the old version and includes a built-in Ethernet port.
This allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlayStation.
Sony has also made a PVR/DVD burning consumer device that plays PlayStation 2 games called the PSX.
The device was poorly received, with some major features absent from the first revisions of the hardware, and has thus far experienced very weak sales in Japan, in spite of major price drops [5].
One of them includes the old EE and GS chips, and the other contains the newer unified EE+GS chip, otherwise being identical.
V0 did not have a built-in DVD player and instead relied on an encrypted player that was copied to a memory card from an included CD-ROM (normally, the PS2 will only execute encrypted software from its memory card, but see PS2 Independence Exploit).
It is backwards compatible with older PlayStation (PS1) games, allows for DVD Video playback, and will play PS2 games off of cheap CD-ROMs or higher-capacity DVD-ROMs.
