Even though they’re the final batch produced, the PS2 in general sold well enough to have lasted longer than anticipated, and finding a 90k isn’t at all difficult.
that version of the ps2 slim is the last of the 90000 series, it's very common in PAL regions, the PSU is inside the console, unlike the 7000 series there is no PSU inside the console, but you need a PSU brick in the older models.
the only thing i hate about the last ps2 slim 9000 series is it has a stupid glossy finish, it looks ugly and scratches will get on it over time, the early ps2 slims models did not have gloss, sony, or consoles in general need to stop with the ugly glossy shit, all electronic need to stop with the glossy finish and stick to ABS plasic matte
Worked at video game stores for decades and during this systems release its not what id call rare but its the more rare model the original fat ps2 is becoming rare to find a working model I've bought and sold thousands of PS2 systems and this system was seen far less than the others so hes not wrong exactly not rare but more rare than some
Is it rare? I don't think so? I have one still sealed in the box when walmart was dumping them for $50 (canadian) as the PS3 was on store shelves. I bought one because .. hey - fiddy bux for a PS2 console was less than you could buy PS3 games for, so I thought why not.
In my opinion it’s definitely more rare than the standard ps2 slim or a ps2 fat… I’ve seen plenty of both of those but this is the first 900xx model that i’ve found. That’s pretty cool, awesome pick up!
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but this is not rare at all, these are the FINAL run / production models of the PS2 Slim and actually had the longest production run of any PS2/PS2 Slim variant of >6-years (the 900xx model was introduced late 2007 and was in production through to 2013 when the PS2 production ended)
A lot of people have been commenting this! I made the assumption it was rare because i’ve never seen one in my ~9 years of video game buying/selling/collecting. Maybe they’re just rare in my area 😅 Thank you for teaching me about it!
Enjoyed the video man! I liked the PS2 without the power brick, think I've seen them in the wild but they've been so beaten up I didn't even pick one up to look at it :(
70000 slim is much rarer they only made a few of them. it's the only slim model with the original IO processor so it doesn't have compatibility issues with certain games(like Revenge of the flying dutchman iirc) even if it's still a crappy model
I got one of these and want to turn it into a ps2 mini really bad. Just haven't got around to it yet. The buttons suck on this version. I prefer the slim to the fat and this is the worst one.
this variant is pretty common in europe, plus, its one of the worst models for two things: first: the power supply is inside the console, leading it to some overheat, and its the final model with fully emulated PS1 games (vs partially, previously).
emulation is better in this case because it can play every ps1 game and donesn't have any of the errors the previous slims had. Never had problems with overheating either. Just keep it flat and free of dust. maybe the euro ones are worse 🤷♂️ mine has been going strong for 20 years and I have been playing it every day lately

nah its not rare dude...very common model
Not rare but not common to find a working one that doesn't look like it's been skipped across a parking lot
I was about to comment that
This variant is very common in Brazil, since the longevity of PS2 here were expanded due to economics for the majority of the people.
I live in Brazil and these are pretty common here. I actually have two: the 90006 and the 90010.

what's the date code on the back?
9C
those are pretty common in latin america at least, i have like 3 of them around my house haha also pretty cheap
I see this model come in for repair a lot.. I got one in my queue right now. Its not a very good model.. turning it into a mini makes it way better.
Damn I had one but had to sell it a few years back to pay some rent
I would keep silent hill 2 it’s a legendary game!
SHCP 9000 series is pretty common, tf

I would say my biggest issue with this model is how hard it is to push in the buttons haha
have this variant
and i was completely unaware 💀
Need to get one of these
I still have mine
I just got me one a week ago

mine never overheated, it has the best lasers out of all the models too so i wouldn't say it's the worst
i just checked the date code on mine its actually from 2010 so its pretty new relatively speaking 😆
The 90001 model I had ran cooler than the 75001 model I have now. I opened both of them and cleaned the dust out too.
@@SevenCompleted It can't play every PS1 game though, there is a list of incompatible games because it uses emulation.
