Silver PS2 Re-Design

The default color scheme of the PS2 has been black since its inception in 1999. For the Japanese market, a rainbow assortment of color variants have been released through the years including a Sakura Pink model, a Gold Gundam variant, and a Midnight Blue PS2. When Sony released their slim PS2 console in the USA and Japan, they also went with black at the outset and eventually shipped a Ceramic White variant to market in Nihon.

Instead of releasing a white slim-style PS2 for the U.S. market, Sony goes metallic with a silver Playstation 2 which includes a silver Dual Shock 2 controller. Scheduled to ship next week, the silver PS2 hasn't been released in Japan yet so it's a North American exclusive and we're looking forward to exporting a few dozen cases to customers in Asia and Japan. Pricing is set at the standard rate of US$135 and preorders are welcome. NCS recommends USPS Express Mail for our international customers which is a trackable and insured service which normally delivers within 3-5 days depending on unencumbered Customs clearance.
