Games Radar reports that Sony will finally release the new PlayStation 2 model in the UK next month - and it'll be available in silver as well as the traditional black.

The new version of the PS2 - which was first released in Japan back in May - includes a host of new features primarily relating to the machine's DVD playback facilities: Along with standard DVDs, the new PS2 (which is cosmetically unchanged) will also be able to play DVD-R and DVD-RW discs and supports DVD progressive scan playback, which can provide far higher quality images than the current PS2.
