October 20, 2005 - The slim model PS2 will be seeing a new color over in Japan to coincide with the holiday sales season. Sony Computer Entertainment will be releasing the Satin Silver PS2, model SCPH-75000 SSS, on 11/23, at an open price. The system will include a satin silver Dual Shock 2, a satin silver vertical stand, AV cables and an AC adapter.

SCE will also make available on 11/23 Satin Silver versions of the Dual Shock 2 controller and PlayStation 2 Memory Card. Both accessories will be sold for 2,940 yen.

The conventional slim PS2 model, known affectionately as the PSTwo, has product number SCPH-70000. When releasing new color variations, Sony usually keeps the product number the same but tacks on a few letters to indicate the new color. With the new Satin Silver model, though, Sony has switched to a completely new model number.

It turns out that the Satin Silver model, while having the same functionality as a standard PS2, has problems running certain PlayStation 2 and PlayStation titles. The exact list of games with problems is available, in Japanese, here. Here's an English list of PS2 games that won't run properly on the Satin Silver unit:
