Sony announced plans on Tuesday to sell a new, lighter version of the PlayStation 2 in Japan on November 22.
New PS2s (at least the guts) coming soon
The newly designed PlayStation 2 comes at a price of 16,000 yen ($140) and features a sold separately stand like the original PS2 stand for $4.
"While inheriting the functions of the current PlayStation 2, the internal design architecture of the new system has been completely overhauled, resulting (in a console that is) lighter in weight," the company said in a statement.
While expected, a U.S. announcement has yet to be made.
PlayStation 2 celebrated its seventh anniversary last month. To date it has sold 120 million units worldwide making it the best selling video game system of all time.
