    So I decided to get back into gaming and don't have the budget for a PS3, so I'm planning on buying a PS2. I was just going to buy the newest slimline version but realized I should find out if there is a certain model I should look for. The console will be just for gaming, I'm not going to be using it for other media, and I'd like to use FMCB and ESR.

    Yeah, after reading more on here that's what I'm thinking I should get.

    Don't forget the NWA/BBA, because in any other case a Slim is better (if you do not want to use a laser).
    PS2 V7/DMS3 V2 (FW:2.4b7); Seagate Baracuda 200GB
    PS2 V7/CC1.0 (FW:34 hacked v2 BM:2.1.6); Maxtor DiamondMAX9 PLUS 160GB
    PS2 SCPH-30004R; NoMod+NoLaser

    3xSony BBA
    3xSony MC 8MB
    MAX/Datel 16MB with Boot-CD
    MAX/Datel 32MB&64MB

    Custom FMCB 1.8b+ Beta-Build, my AIO 0.5, Sony&xRhino-Linux

    NWA = Network Adapter?
    What's BBA stand for?
    I ended up with a V7/8(SCPH-39001) for $50 after shipping. From the pics it looks to be in great condition and comes with a couple controllers, memory card, and headset. I decided on a fat because I'd like to have a hdd and keep it all contained in one unit. It should get here in a few days and I can't wait to start modding it.

    Good luck and have fun with it, once you receive it.
