And be careful to tape ribbon cable correctly, you can move laser manualy with disc on the spin wheel to check if cable will not touch the disc in any position. Also if you tape too much cable you can break it while playing so please double check everything before playing games.

@@dr.professor6435 technically yes, the PS2 Fat has more HDD that is literally needed to play 1 game, and that is one of the FF games. However, I have come to decide that buying a PS2 is no longer worth it and an original PS3 launch version is a better investment, but it's up to you. PS2's are more affordable and easier to find. The PS2 Slim's issue is it has a laser ribbon that is just a tad milimeter below the disk and if it folds even a lil' bit, then watch your disks get shredded. The best way to fix the problem is to replace the entire laser. By far "one" of the worst designs in console history

I ask her how much, she mulls it for a second and says $10!! She also had a minty ps4 with a controller and a bunch of COD games, and she only wanted $30 for that lot. She tells me she might have more and to call her the next day which I do: She has the slim ps2, with the games and only the power hookup and adapter (which is fine as i already have component cables) and a Wii with 2 wiimotion plus remotes, 2 nunchucks and Mario kart wii, mario galaxy 2, DK country returns, and some other random games and she only wanted $40 for everything.

Advice; Don't buy any ps2 slim. -It scratches discs -The console lifespan is shorter than a fat -It's up in the air whether you get easy Mod ability -More prone to overheating and mechacon issue -More Laser reliability issues on average -Game compatability is an issue -Just don't. If you don't have a surface to play a fat on, that's just sad Buy a PS2 Fat, 39001 or 50001 model. -Does not scratch discs nearly at all -Lifespan is way better -You can put HDD in it (I know you can with the slim, only on 1 model with mods, but you're risking reliability) -The fat is way more moddable -You can stand up a fat to become slimmer (I don't recommend it, but you can) -The fat can read ps1 discs no matter the model where as not all slims can read/backup to hdd as much, as well as some colored discs
